Each year my firm, Brethertons LLP Solicitors, have a designated charity that will benefit from events held thoughout the year. Last year it was ‘Dogs for the Disabled’. This year, it was a little more personal. Our IT manager had an accident on the Southam Road in Banbury last year. May 6th, the day of the General Election. I remember it, because I was in London when I received the call.  He had come off his motorbike, and the Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance and crew saved his life. As a result, they’re our charity this year. I was tasked with coming up with a concept and building our Christmas email to clients. The money saved from sending cards was given to WNAA.  This is the email I designed in photoshop and built in dreamweaver.

2010 was my firms 200th year, and to celebrate a number of events took place across Banbury and Warwickshire. The Christmas email to clients highlighted those events. The problem I had was that the images I had to use were taken by less than professional photographers. Using photoshop and dreamweaver, I got round the problem by tucking them under a wrapped present.
