Dinner Invitation Process

Here are some of the preliminary layouts for my design. The typography on the menu and the biographies was difficult to work out. I wanted to interlace their obituaries with my memories of them. Initially, I had the obituaries in blue and my memories in yellow, however for the final design I swapped these two colors and it was easier to read what I wrote with the obituaries in the background. I also increased the point size for both and used text wrap so that it would flow better with the shape of the circle. I moved the text in the menu so on the right hand side they were all left justified and on the left hand side it was right justified.
