The To Bear Fruit for Our Race homepage
The website is a special project of the Center for Public History, and is used in intermediate and high school classrooms to educate students about Houston black history.
Today, I finished the designs for the coozies that we will give away during our wedding.
I designed them using Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator CS4.
Here they are:
The blue "formal" coozie.
Photos taken for the blue coozie were shot by Pin Lim, from our engagement photo shoot. The background of this coozie will be blue, so the ink needs to be white, and so the white ink is black above – which means it’s kind of hard to tell what this one will look like. I’m confident it will be awesome.
The white "fun" coozie.
One of the photos taken for the white coozie was shot by Pin Lim (see the one on the far right). The others were shot myself, holding the camera out at a decent distance. This coozie was white with blue ink, so it’s not hard to see what it will look like, since the black ink above will be blue.
UPDATE: See a photo of the finished coozie, printed by Kustom Koozies, from Pin Lim’s wedding photo shoot:
The coozies came out great. Our guests loved them!
