The Bartenders Charity Ball board gave me the theme of “Proper Attire Optional”, with a requirement that there be an attractive lady involved with the design. My idea was to take a very refined and elegant approach to the typography and juxtapose that with a very sultry (but tasteful) photo as requested by the client. I focused on the idea of "black", and worked with the photographer to create a tone on tone image with a pose reminiscent of Rat Pack-era Pinups. I created the custom line work and patterns to further reinforce this elegant but fun feel of the event.
