Dinner invitations

Context

The British Museum organises two high-profile events every year, the Trustees’ Dinner and the Director’s Dinner. They are an opportunity to deepen relationships with the guests through a memorable and enjoyable encounter with the Museum and its collection.

Audience

The guest list includes the Museum’s community of supporters and advocates, along with thought leaders in the arts, academia, media, creative industries, and politics.

Challenge

To capture the recipients' attention, the invitation cards had to convey energy, exclusivity and excitement.

To stand out against competing venues, they had to give a strong sense of the British Museum.

Solution

For the lead visuals, I chose objects or architectural features with unique stories from around the Museum. To give a sense of elegance and surprise, I interpreted them through the use of high-end finishing techniques and materials.
