Setting a Bad Example

This right here is an example of terrible graphic design. There is even a blog about the above invitation claiming all the rules of design it breaks. First and most noticeably, there are way too many variations of type on the page. The words "Big, Bold, and Booming" do not have fonts that correctly represent each feeling of the word. Also, the picture in the background does not make me think Hollywood event, now that I look at the invite I'm not sure what event this is? The copy needs to be simplified and should be able to convey the important information such as who what and where, in a quick read. Finally I despise the color choice used. What prompted the designer pick three of the most basic colors to work with? I cannot believe the person wasted ink and paper on this garbage. I found this bad example on http://writemarketdesign.blogspot.com/2011/08/marketing-mishaps-using-too-many-fonts.html.
