<\/p>\n

Generally speaking, I\u2019ve learned to adopt two \u201cthanks-but-no-thanks\u201d rules as a freelancer. <\/p>\n

1) I don’t do wedding stuff.<\/span><\/p>\n

2) I don’t do kids birthday invites.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although I <\/span>am<\/em> a soulless murderer of joy, it’s really because both of those events tend to have so much emotion wrapped up in them, that expectations are often sky-high and near-impossible to meet. People tend to take it super-personally when little Timmy\u2019s vision of \u201cWolfman Shark Assassin\u201d isn\u2019t executed to perfection by their hired art monkey. I get it. It\u2019s your kid. <\/span><\/p>\n

And weddings? Forget about it. There\u2019s a whole industry built around wedding planning and collateral. They’re saints. Please just unchain me and let me go, ma\u2019am. <\/span><\/p>\n

When it’s your own kids, it\u2019s different. That\u2019s what my wife told me, and I could tell she meant it.  They were always just happy to see themselves looking like Batman, or a fairy, or whatever they requested that year after some slight leading of the witness. Hey, buddy… Oh, you want a custom Star Wars invite? Cool. Let’s get infringe-y. I’m not getting paid. No need to worry about Lucasfilm or Hasbro sending hired goons to throw me down a flight of stairs.<\/span><\/p>\n

My kids are getting older now, but these are some of their invites from the elementary school years that I had a good time with.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

This Lego-themed invite was always one of my favorites. It was actually quite a bit of work. First, I put together a freestyle lego spaceship using only a weeks worth of pieces I pried from the bottom of my bare feet. After I took a photo of it, I took a separate pic of my son sitting at a similar angle. I combined the two images in photoshop and was pretty pleased with the result. I created the text to look similar to what I saw on various Lego packaging. He loved it. I still love it.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

This fairy-themed invite for my daughter was another favorite of mine. It was another one that required a lot of Photoshop time. The interior of the flower wasn’t the only thing. The fact that the material on sections of the skirt was a partially see-through was a little challenging. Also getting the 3 main photo elements (the flower, the wings, and the photo of my daughter)<\/i> to match in quality and color took some time. When it was completed, she was very excited. I still love this one. The clarity of the source photos were always really cool to me.<\/p>\n

Here are a few others that i did throughout the elementary school years, that i wont take the time to explain in-depth. But they all basically involved me taking a photo of my kids in our kitchen with proper lighting and inserting them onto some sort of theme-related background. None of these invites were taken using the finished background. Good times. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
