In 2007 a company out of Portland, Oregon called Impact Printing wanted to update their website. The owners didn’t want to have a regular website so they invited me to their print shop to show me around and see what we could work out. They wanted their website to stand out from the rest of the printing crowd. This was during a time when flash-based websites were on the edge of technology. “We want to do something different from a normal printing company.” Tyler Cuddeford told me with a twinkle in his eye. He was one of the founders of the Impact Printing company and liked to explore cutting edge and new possibilities. His time working for Nike had expanded his appreciation for breaking ground.

So we got to work. They really wanted to have something that was three-dimensional, so we created this room that was based on flash and was eventually going to be like a virtual tour room. There was a TV in front that was going to have their advertising and information that would be able to be zoomed into and out from. Also, a big billboard dropped in from the sky to project some of the basic company information. You can see a basic version of the site by going to this link here. (please note that you will likely not be able to view the site from your phone or tablet)

Eventually Impact Printing needed to update their website to meet technological changes and requirements but this was a fun project to work on at the time.

Today, 10 years later, Impact Printing is still going strong, and if you need something printed in the Portland area be sure to check them out. They’ll treat you right.
