2020 Celebrate Architecture Gala

The annual AIA Houston Celebrate Architecture Gala is a fundraising event benefiting Architecture Center Houston. I designed a brand for the 2020 gala and developed various print and digital deliverables to promote it.
The 2020 Gala brand paid homage to "roaring 20's" Art Deco aesthetics through liberal use of ornamentation and an emphasis on elegance, glamour and functionality.
These themes were reinforced through the use of high-quality soft-touch papers and print production processes that underscore tactility — specifically, copper foil stamping and blind embossing. Bold typography inspired by the elegant 'Stile Liberty' travel posters of the early 1900s function as a nod to the iconic location of the gala — the Lone Star Flight Museum.
