You Are Cordially Invited...

This is a series of invitations by Keetra Dean Dixon. I love how she uses a typically mundane topic, a formal invitation, and makes it original and fun. Her unexpected invitations to "invest in the fantastic" or "twist the cynical loop" make me smile, and the invitations themselves are very visually pleasing as well, especially the typography. Her letters are beautifully crafted and so unique, I could look at them for quite some time.

Also, I stumbled upon this useful design resource site and I thought I'd pass it along-

It is especially helpful if you are looking for the dimensions of something with a standardized size (postcards, dvd and cd inserts, envelopes, etc.)
