Possibly THE best and most hilarious annual corporate Christmas cards I have EVER seen! These ridiculously fantastic staff portraits are the work of London based creative agency Isobel. Their idea for the cards came from wanting to reflect that their agency is “about people” and chose to swap the “cold, faceless e-cards” for traditional printed cards which have become the source of the agencies pride…

Beautiful and super fun trompe l’oeil style alphabet photography by Vienna born, New York based Bela Borsodi. Apart from being clever and talented, Bela must be an incredibly patient person in arranging these incredible sets before photographing them. Imagining the patience required for this makes me get all fidgety…

Yelling out “WOOHOO” at the top of my lungs feels like the only appropriate way to greet you in this first post for the year and to welcome you to our brand new site!! Man oh man, what an EPIC adventure this has been. Little did I know how much work was going to be involved in redoing the site and migrating all the content – I have a new found respect for web dudes and their craft. This new site simply wouldn’t be possible without the help and dedication of the two leading men in my life – my super awesome kick-ass code busting kung-fu web developer brother, and one and only supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Husband with mad Ninja-skills (who recently took his very own Leap of Faith to join me on this yellowtrace adventure full time – oooohhh the excitement!!)

Over the last few weeks, our days were filled with many tekkie adventures – some happy, triumphant and hi-fivey, others definitely not so much. But this steep learning curve has made us even better at what we do so that we can continuing to build on what we’ve learned and work on ongoing improvements of our site…
