Viva Bella Events partnered with Evolution creative solutions on a unique invitation for a “New York State of Mind” themed banquet. Inspired by the iconic subway system, the design used raised ink to bring the familiar train lines to life. This texture earned a Bronze award in the Announcements and Invitations category of the Graphic Media Alliance Print Excellence Awards.
Next Stop: First Impressions
The raised ink gave the printed lines depth, turning a recognizable visual into something more engaging. This tactile detail elevated the design and encouraged interaction. A coordinating envelope and custom sticker closure completed the package, creating a polished and cohesive presentation.
Mapping the Design
The New York concept did not stop at the invitation. Evolution creative solutions printed coordinated event marketing, helping carry the theme from the mailbox to the venue.
The team produced and installed a subway-themed wall graphic, reinforcing the visual identity as guests arrived. Backlit table centerpieces added depth and atmosphere, creating focal points that complemented the overall design. Each element worked together to create a consistent, immersive experience.
Keeping Everything on Track
Evolution creative solutions managed production across multiple pieces, ensuring consistency in color, materials, and execution. By supporting both pre-event communication and on-site visuals, the team created a seamless experience from start to finish.
The final result was more than an invitation. It was a coordinated event marketing program that guided guests from anticipation to arrival. The tactile invitation captured attention early, while the on-site elements reinforced the theme throughout the event.
The invitation’s innovative use of raised ink earned a Bronze award in Announcements and Invitations from the Graphic Media Alliance Print Excellence Awards, demonstrating how thoughtful design and specialty printing techniques can elevate the entire event experience.
