Wedding Registry Guide: A Catalog

My final project in my Layout and Finished Art class this semester was a 16-page catalog. We were assigned to photograph ten products, write sales copy, and come up with a design concept that marketed the products in a catalog. My catalog featured standard necessities for any entertainer's collection, specifically ideas for wedding registries. I photographed some of the awesome entertaining sets we received for our wedding, tossed in some ads (featuring my hubby and I), and wrapped it all up in a clean, fresh look, with summer colors, fun quotes, and illustrated little green icons. In case you can't read the quotes in the photos, I typed them up. Be sure to click the pictures and enlarge them if you can't get a good look. Enjoy!

"Civilization has taught us to eat with a fork, but even now if nobody is around we use our fingers."


"A man cannot make him laugh—but that's no marvel; he drinks no wine."


"Chocolate, men, coffee—some things are better rich."


"Here's to the corkscrew - a useful key to unlock the storehouse of wit, the treasury of laughter, the front door of fellowship, and the gate of pleasant folly."
