The event lead approached us with a request from the associates committee to design an invitation that captured the playful spirit of table sports and wine tasting while maintaining Blakes' professional standards.

The event name, Sports et Divertissements, was inspired by a whimsical musical composition by Erik Satie, which also informed the creative direction.

Inspired by Erik Satie’s music, early sketches used simple forms and illustrations to reference wine culture and table sports while maintaining a polished, professional tone.

Stakeholder feedback later guided the shift from martini glasses to wine glasses to better align with the event’s tasting experience.
