This piece was created to invite design professionals around the Charlotte, NC area to RENDEZVOUS, Central Piedmont’s Fall 2025 A+GD Portfolio show.
Visual consistency was one of Central Piedmont’s top goals in the making of RENDEZVOUS. Whether the viewer was opening their invitation in the mail, scrolling through Instagram, clicking on an email, or attending the event in person, they sought to make the experience cohesive and immersive all the way around. Since Central Piedmont’s theme was centered around the golden age of air travel, they wanted each piece to reflect the physical feeling of collectible ephemera that one used to receive in their travels.
The invitations bring Piedmont’s audience back to the golden age of air travel, enticing them on a one-night-only journey around the graduating class’s finest work. Necessary information is front and center, wrapped in clever wit that fits the theme, such as boarding passes, luggage tags, and airplane safety cards, matching the experience the guests would later have at the show itself. Ultimately, they sent out almost 300 invitations resulting in an attendance of 150+ people on the night of the portfolio show.
