Applied Materials "X-Ray" Seminar Invitations
Image 01 of 05
The invitation series included a seminar program invite, cocktail reception invite and two save-the-date postcards. Our solution for the seminar invitation juxtaposes the company's Scanning Electron Microscope images of silicon wafer coatings with X-rays of common objects to convey conference themes in a fresh, engaging manner. The invitation's unique shape is inspired by the company’s wafer fabrication chambers, with die cut corners and drilled holes to simulate the rivets of the machines.
Expressive typography was used throughout the program, integrating graphics and special effects to enhance meaning. "Solutions" bends behind a lightbulb, "Plant" grows in scale, "Mix" blends together different fonts and "Move" creates motion to convey speed. The unexpected color palette for their industry combines subtle, sophisticated blue, green and yellow hues with silver for their aluminum wafer fabrication equipment, and copper for their wafer coatings.
