How We Make our Annual Holiday Cards

2005 Edition

This year's card starts with a 40-inch square plywood box covered with some shelf paper. We took turns decorating the box and jumping in for a photo. Two employees were not on location, so we had their spouses shoot pictures of them, and composited the results into two empty boxes.

2004 Edition

Before:	After:

Our 2004 holiday card was a lot of fun to put together. We all gathered on a warm Thursday morning in the parking lot outside our offices. It took about 20 minutes to string the garland and hand out the ornaments. Veronica (middle person, third row up) was absent so we left a space for her. She was dropped in, along with the snow during editing.

2003 Edition

Before:	After:

It always rains in the Pacific Northwest, so we accept that we seldom see a "White Christmas." The 2003 Christmas card is about our unique North West rain experience. A few of our staff dressed up and everyone brought their rain gear. The water up to our door step and the salmon appeared in the editing process.

2002 Edition

Before:	After:

The 2002 holiday card was our break from the traditional generic holiday card. It is always dificult to communicate who we are and many of our clients have never met us face to face. The holiday card is one way to help bridge this gap. We met a graphic artist named John Redhed that helped us create these fun and interesting holiday greeting cards.
