These Christmas cards are ‘Fresh’!!!

Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

Capital ‘F’ intended.

This year we’ve gone for digital motherboard chic…

(for the record, the last time we saw anything this ‘Fresh’ he was dittying about smelly cab drivers whilst fortuitously relocating from the basketball courts of West Philadelphia to a palatial mansion in Beverly Hills…)

Cherry’s AGM – Amsterdam, 2009

Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

Having had a great year (despite the doom and gloom still out there) we at Cherry decided to give ourselves a well-earned break to the continent for our AGM. Amsterdam was the destination of choice; it’s a fantastic city with a real passion for design. It’s also a great place to unwind – plenty of canals, wonderful architecture and a welcome lack of speeding motorists (not to mention the extracurricular activities on offer).

On arrival we visited Ewald’s typography studio. It’s a treasure trove for creative types with an interest in typography, we were in our element – we couldn’t resist sharing a few photos…

The experience took everyone back to the heady days of Art School. Perhaps it was this nostalgia that was responsible for the subsequent ’studentesque’ behaviour later in the evening? We’ll never know…

All in all a fantastic time was had, with some fairly sheepish looking faces back in the office on Monday morning.
