I’ve a pal who works for the NSPCC (National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children) charity and she recently asked me if I’d be willing to do a bit of graphic design for their next swanky Hats On event at York Races.

At the moment their committee only need 2 different cover ideas for their invite.  I had a little think and a dig through my photo archives and was coming up empty, so  I emailed my pals at the Randall Network (a network of forward thinking UK wedding photographers) to see if anyone had any images of posh hats. The lovely Alison of Alison Groves Photography had a root about and sent me the image below!  Could a photo be more apt?  Posh hats in front of possible horse racey fences?!  Genius.  Alison – you rock!

For the second idea I wanted something a bit different, and love ANYTHING art deco, so drafted the following:

I’m not sure which I prefer, but rather like both!  So I thought I’d share with the blog.

Which do you prefer?
