Holiday Music
Tonight is iMarc's annual holiday party. Like past years, one of the best aspects of the party is seeing what madness our creative director, Craig Henry, will create for the invitation.
This year's theme was record covers. Craig and Christian photographed all employees on various days. The original photos were bland—just us iMarcians posed in awful sweaters in front of solid backdrops. Then Craig went wild in Photoshop.
The final result: eight brilliantly fake holiday record covers.
These were laid out, printed at 4by6.com, and snail-mailed as our invitations. Hopefully Craig will do one of his famous Photoshop blogs showing how they were done.

Rob, not to get too technical or anything, but iMarc uses a very advanced spam detection system that involves different levels of authorization. Essentially we have two sets of users: "Users" and "Robs". As a "Rob" your comments are subject to additional discretion - and subsequent deletion.
Frankly, I don't know how you slipped this one through, but I assure you the entire development team is looking into it.
Lonely Holiday...can records do infinite loops? *fist bump*
whoa whoa whoa, just noticed something...the postcard says "Remember the Moments" over Mr. Keyes. Vierd.
@Nick, there was much internal debate over which was better -- Remember the Moments or Another Lonely Holiday. Moments got printed, then Craig decided that he liked the other better...
