Saying goodbye on your last day

August 23, 2011 - A date which I will never forget as this is my last date of working in my current organization. It's been more than 3 glorious years and the experience has been very rich. I did a lot, a lot had to be done. However at one point of time, one does talk to himself and takes a decision to advance his career. I too did.

I have enjoyed every bit of work in my current organization, hence I thought of making my last and final moment a little memorable.

Saying goodbye on your last day is not easy and I had two options - make some noise, take out my colleagues for lunch or make something simple and different with a personal note and give to my colleagues. After thinking for a while, the second option made more sense to me. Then what? The mind started ticking and I decided to make a postcard of a different kind. I used simple professional and contrasting colours with a white body space to write the message. The concept was a 'goodbye smile' which I represented by the common smiley :) that we all often use in texting, commenting or tweeting. I think no one has tried it before, so it made even more sense to me to just go ahead with the idea. It looked different and came out pretty neat in print. I got 100 such postcards printed for my colleagues! Have a look at the final card below:

Goodbye Postcard

Do share how did you find this postcard? If you want some new postcard ideas, I'll be glad to share some. Till then, let me start giving the postcards and judge if this was something different and if it will be remembered. But, there was one bad part too - my thumb got sore after writing different messages for >80 colleagues. So you may consider typing your message if the quantity is huge. Till then, be creative, have fun. Thank You!
