Shedd Aquarium hosts an annual Member Loyalty event for members who have renewed their memberships for 10+ years. The invitation for this event is a great opportunity to wow our members with a highly customized look matching the event’s theme. The theme for 2017 was Swimming with Gratitude and I produced some colorful, whimsical illustrations of sea animals for the invitation and program for the event.
