Every year Libby and I send out a self-designed holiday card using our own skills as graphic artists and photographers. When it came time to produce this year’s card we had some initial trouble coming up with a fresh idea. After a bit of thinking I came up with the idea of using images taken specifically with my iPhone.

We whittled down hundreds of images from 5 continents and numerous events down to 70 colorful images that all appear on the front of the card. I wanted the thumbnails on the front of the card to be large enough to be readable to the viewer, yet small enough to maintain the graphic element of the grid. After putting the design together, we were both pleased with the initial outcome, but wanted to take it a step further. I decided to create the online aspect to supplement the physical card. IPHONEADVENTURE.COM is the manifestation of that.

Since all of the images that were chosen represent a significant moment or memory from 2009, we wanted this project to go beyond just a tiny thumbnail, and to explain itself, in context.

All 70 images from the physical card, are viewable in a larger, un-cropped format. In addition, each image is accompanied by the date the image was made, the GPS coordinates corresponding to where the image was taken as well as a short and candid description of the image. Since the iPhone automatically embeds GPS location data into each photo taken with the device you will be able to see exactly where we were when we took the image via Google Maps. Clicking on the coordinates in each image’s description will open up a new window with data about the location. If you did not receive a physical card and would like to check out what it looked like, you will find that in the CARD section as well.

The other sections of this website will give you a little background info on each of us, as well as provide ample contact information if you would like to drop us a line, or send us a card next year!

You are welcomed and encouraged to link IPHONEADVENTURE.COM anywhere you’d like as well as leave comments telling us what you think.

We are unsure of what IPHONEADVENTURE.COM will be in the future, but for right now, we thank you for taking the time to indulge us in this little experiment.

Here’s to an awesome 2010,

-Todd, Libby & TT
