Let's Save the Date
As Let’s Save the Date approaches its second birthday, I FINALLY figured out the proper code to lock the typewriter effect on the landing page!! James would be proud. Of course, only a week later, they retired the domain.
Still, I realized I never shared this work. Background: I and fellow Sylvain Labs intern, Eliza, devoted our summers to researching the engagement process, out of which I built a micro-site (http://letssavethedate.com), hand-drew the illustrations, and hand-wrote the workbook. It’s a satire of the overabundant “wedding planning survival checklist:” instead, an emotional survival guide—something Brides, Martha, and other ‘Big Wedding’ oracles don’t provide (despite painfully obvious need). Since participating in a few weddings and witnessing the stressors firsthand, I’m proud to say the guide still holds up. Kicking myself about the missed opportunity to refer to the stressors as “uninvited wedding guests.” Good thing I’m truly the only one who would care about this anyway.
