It's hard for me to do usually... Saying goodbye in the form of a letter or card is a challenge for myself more often than not. I was never really one to be mushy or leave little notes in peoples birthday cards, yearbooks, or subpoenas. So when two co workers of mine who recently decided to put in thier notice of resignation, I knew the goodbye cards would eventually make thier way around the office, putting myself in a spot to think of something more personal to say in writing than "have a good life". And since I consider myself friends with these individuals, I didn't want to send them off with a shrug and a wave.
So to much of my delight when I found out that instead of a card, the office will be putting together a Zine for each of them as a goodbye shot before they take off. Each employee here has their own page to say whatever it is they want, or to decorate it how they wish. In my case that means I can be personable without being mushy and I can say some things I guess I cant write out using my design work. How fun!
Heres each of my designs I submitted. One for each Zine. I don't imagine you may quite get the content of them because they are somewhat inside jokes between me and my respective friend, but hopefully you can appreciate the design aesthetic. If this is how we do cards from now on, I may do cards more often.
