Avengers S.H.I.E.L.D. File: a birthday invitation template
The invitation is a classified S.H.I.E.L.D. file: Nick Fury recruits the birthday child for the Avengers Initiative, and every guest is asked to enlist.
The design
Opens on the glass S.H.I.E.L.D. dossier Nick Fury hands a new recruit: the Avengers Initiative candidate file on the birthday child. A scan runs down the subject photo, the black redaction bars over the name and the file details retract one by one, the age becomes the clearance level and flips to ACCESS GRANTED, and Fury steps in from the edge: "I'm here to talk to you about the Avengers Initiative." Every section is another pane of the same file, declassified as you reach it: the Director's briefing with a T-minus mission clock, the candidate background with a service record (secret identity still redacted), the rendezvous point on a radar grid, the operation timeline with Iron Man flying in, field protocols for parents with the Hulk standing guard over the sugar rush, the suit requisition, surveillance feeds for the photos, an equipment requisition for the wish list, a debrief for the questions and the enlistment form, with Captain America, Thor, Black Widow and Hawkeye assembled behind it and one position open. It closes on the Avengers A: file status active, next review at the next clearance level.
Colours and type
Avengers S.H.I.E.L.D. File comes in 3 colourways: Helicarrier glass, Stark Industries and Captain's file, with 2 type pairings: Chakra Petch & Plex Condensed and Oxanium & Archivo Narrow. The colours and type change in the editor at any time; the layout stays its own.
Who it suits
Made for kids, in the Themed style.
