This week we have a quick peak at the behind the scenes stuff we do here at Digital Initiatives.
Some of these images are new and some are a bit older, but all give a fun look at the secret stuff that happens to get the content you see online! Scroll to the bottom to see links to our longer articles about the process behind many of these pictures.
