Purple event flyer with gold accents and confetti details, announcing the Retirement Celebration on Sunday, April 19th, 2026, at Jacob Henry Mansion in Joliet, Illinois. The flyer lists honorees Charles Gniech, Chery Upshaw, Danny Thompson, John Kriz, Jon Laratta, Sue Batis, and Wayne Gawli, with a schedule for a cash bar at 12:00pm and luncheon and program at 12:30pm. It includes RSVP info, ticket price of $33, and checks payable to AFT Local 604. The background features the Jacob Henry Mansion building, and the flyer contains a quote at the bottom about a career and legacy.

This retirement invitation for Joliet Junior College balances celebration and clarity by using a rich purple and gold palette to convey prestige and recognition. The background building connects the event to the college, while the bold headline paired with a script typeface creates a strong yet elegant tone. A clear typographic hierarchy guides viewers through key details like date, location, and honorees. The main challenge was controlling decorative elements like confetti and borders so they enhanced the design without distracting from the information.
