About This Design
Shakespeare Sonnet 3 (III) on Parchment Invitation
What would life be without poetry in general - or Shakespeare in particular?
A while back, I decided to make products using Shakespeare's sonnets, but I felt my design was a bit unfulfilled at the time, so I revamped it a bit to something more to my liking. Traditional yet original. The background is a parchment texture I made a while back, and I also found a calligraphic typeface for it that has the almost unique feature of having both historical gravity as well as modern legibility.
Obviously there are lots of sonnets to get through, so if you like this design, but cannot find your favourite work by the bard already made in it, please email me at mail@galleryhakon.com to let me know and I'll get to it right away.
This particular one is sonnet 3 (III), which reads:
Look in thy glass and tell the face thou viewest,
Now is the time that face should form another,
Whose fresh repair if now thou not renewest,
Thou dost beguile the world, unbless some mother.
For where is she so fair whose uneared womb
Disdains the tillage of thy husbandry?
Or who is he so fond will be the tomb
Of his self-love, to stop posterity?
Thou art thy mother's glass and she in thee
Calls back the lovely April of her prime;
So thou through windows of thine age shalt see,
Despite of wrinkles, this thy golden time.
But if thou live, rememb’red not to be,
Die single, and thine image dies with thee.

I love this invite. I was pleased to have so much selection for invite size, paper style and background. I received these quite quickly and used a scalloped crafters hole punch to make "bite marks" on 2 sides. I love how they turned out. Would definitely order again. Bright colours and clear lines. Not blurry at all and a nice thick & durable paper.

I was looking for a card like this that fit my traditional culture. I was able to adjust and resize the logos and font. What really impressed me was that I was able to include my traditional font by copying from a .Docx file and pasting on to the Dazzle card edit and there was NO ISSUE at all. I just had to change the size of the font so it fits. colour, clarity and thickness of the card turn out great!
