This morning, as I sat down at my desk at TPI Solutions Ink, I realized that we are almost half way through the month of November. . . yikes! Of course that thought brought me to my next thought which was. . .OMG Christmas and Hanukkah are right around the corner (Hanukkah much more so than Christmas)! I don't know about you but I still endeavor, each and every year, to send out a holiday card (in my case a Christmas card), printed with a photo of my kids and sometimes the pets either printed on the card or included in it.
While checking out my social networks today, in an attempt to keep up with this ever-changing world of print, I came across the following blog article posted by Bill Prettyman called "Should Young People Study Print and Print Media" .
Well, what do you get the person who's got everything? How about dabbling in a bit of graphic design and creating a personalized gift? That's what I decided to do at TPI Solutions Ink for a special person as a thank you gift for being so great. My idea was to create some simple, yet fun and meaningful, memo pads that my friend could use at the office or at home. The design was really basic (as I'm not the designer around here),a collage of select digital photos with my friend's first name at the top. I had the memo's digitally printed on the HP Indigo - this was great because I printed a small quantity, in two sizes, on demand. Once that was done they were trimmed and padded in the bindery. And voila, a thoughtful and creative gift for a thoughtful and creative person! She loved them!
