The Hardest, Best Part of Our Gift Guide

When pulling items for our color-driven gift guide, certain shades yielded amazing finds (there seems to be a major orange trend afoot). Purple though? One store associate confided in hushed tones that they didn’t really have a lot, “because it’s kinda ugly.” Tell that to Husky fans. Or to the Purple Store, a shop dedicated, yes, to the color. Impeccable Met Market produce and some scraps of iridescent upholstery from Pacific Fabrics helped dress our sets. I planned to pull roses from my garden, but a thunderstorm ravaged all but one—which made the shot. To bring it all together, who better than photographer Tori Dickson. Her styling skills were the real gift.

Art Director Jane Sherman designs covers, features, and various departments in Seattle Met. One of her many joys in life is working closely with talented illustrators and photographers to create images that enhance and complement the magazine’s editorial content. She was born in Minneapolis—it’s a lot like Seattle but flatter, and decidedly snowier—and lived there until moving to Seattle in 2007. She cut her teeth in editorial design doing the weekly grind, first as associate art director at City Pages in Minneapolis and eventually producing hundreds of covers—one a week for several years—at Seattle Weekly (some of them even won an award or two).  In her spare time you might find Jane at the dog park with her coonhound Watson, taking a pottery class, drawing, or more likely taking a nap.
