The September Affair is an annual fundraising gala of the Filipino Association of Greater Kansas City. Now in its 40th year, this signature event draws nearly 500 attendees to a formal dinner-dance, accompanied by cultural performances. As an integral part of the planning committee, I have provided creative services that promote each event’s particular theme through graphic design. Printed pieces for the September Affair often include: save-the-date cards, letterhead used for solicitations and thanks, invitations, RSVP cards, and souvenir books. The books not only require careful page layout, but also coordination with paid advertisers. In addition I have taken the lead on working with printers and keeping the project under a tight budget. |
