The Society of Skeptics

This project allowed me to explore the concept of exclusive branding by creating an invitation set for an event hosted by a secret society. The system includes a save the date, invitation, ticket or entry method, and a promotional item.

The Society of Skeptics is a group for those who are skeptical about the paranormal and life after death. Much like famous magician, Harry Houdini, the members of the society visit various mediums and psychics in disguise to try to spot fakes or decide if the person seems genuine. The event the members are invited to is a seance on the death date of Harry Houdini in order to try to contact him. Members would recieve their invitation in a special book lock box that they could use in their homes to hide things away. The design of each item in the system is inspired by the Art Deco movment of the 1920’s, when Houdini’s spiritualism work took place.
