Happy Christmas!!

15 Dec 2010


Every year we like to create a Christmas card for all of our Clients, friends and anyone who seems in particular need of some festive cheer.

This is always a fun opportunity to spend some time in Photoshop without worrying too much about what happens, and this years design was a sort of long and drawn out experiment. I didn't really go in to it with a plan (other that than to draw attention to Aaron's hilariously bad ice skating skills!) but played around a lot with the composition and colour balance.

I did try to film myself creating it like last year, but the darned computer crashed halfway through!

Merry Christmas to one and all!

Things are a little over excited here at Slurpy Towers - it's nearly Christmas, and we've been feeling the festive love for well over a month now. In fact we brought our Christmas tree on November 13th this year, and have had Wham's Last Christmas on repeat pretty much ever since!

We've put up the decorations, stolen some holly, experimented with mince pies (we didn't have a pan with the holes in, so they were more like mince pasties really), brought the presents, got our auto responder set up and ready to go, and made our Christmas Cards.

This was the first year that we sent out special Slurpy Christmas cards, and we designed one which featured our two Directors Katie Steed and Aaron Wood in a 50s style Christmas scene (with Katie doing all the work and Aaron sitting about shaking his presents!)



And here is a short video that we made on 'The Making Of' this years Christmas Card. It starts with a rough sketch on paper, which is then scanned in and coloured using Photoshop CS4. It has been sped up by about 800%.
