IT'S CHRISTMAS WEEK! Post 7/7 A different side of Santa & his little helpers you've never seen before. And perhaps wish you'd never seen. Check out this Medium Post to see who created each of these. This signals the end of Christmas week - it was a fun one and I'm glad that I spent it with you. . . .
A Monster’s Wish For Christmas
IT'S CHRISTMAS DAY!! POST 5/7 It's been such an exciting week with celebrations all around - and finally THE DAY has come. I wish you all a very Merry Christmas. Made you lovely readers a little monster to accompany you during this festive season... May you all be as jolly as this little guy with plenty of feasting, love, and laughter all around. Happy holidays! . . .
Garbage Ideas
IT'S CHRISTMAS WEEK! DAY 4/7 Agencies normally select from a pool of the following gifts: Chocolate Printed Christmas Card Trendy Notebook A Christmas decoration Christmas Cupcakes & Cookies This year, we went for the latter (with pretty cute wrapping). Canadian advertising agency Wax thought outside the box this time and created a funny and crazy clever gift for . . .
Panda Hunting
IT'S CHRISTMAS WEEK! DAY 3/7 Today, I have a game for you - SPOT THE PANDA. Loving this little festive puzzle by Gergely Dudás, via @Picame. Put your hands up and boast about it in the comments section once you've found the little guy. Edit: My mistake, the illustration is created by Hungarian artist Gergely Dudás and not Càl Fox as originally written. This has apparently turned into . . .
Eggnog x Cocktail = Christmas Perfection
IT'S CHRISTMAS WEEK! DAY 2/7 Are you at a loss for a new cocktail to entertain your guests with at your Christmas party? Look no further, here's one from A Beautiful Mess. EGGNOG MARTINI Serves 2 usually...but I guess this depends on how many you're each planning on drinking. What is needed: 3 oz eggnog 1 oz vanilla vodka 1/2 oz amaretto Nutmeg and cinnamon sticks for . . .
Drawing Connections
Drawing: 1. a graphic representation by lines of an object or idea (i.e. drawing a dog) 2. to deduce; infer (i.e. drawing a conclusion). Okay, a pun is clearly ineffective if it requires explanation.

Quintuple Colouration
Although my wardrobe consists of every shade of black, my eyes seem to hover every time I see a burst of colour in a brand's identity. Here's some letterpress goodness from Don't Try Studio. "Though they are 5-color letterpressed, white-foiled, and triplexed, Designer Quentin Monge’s playful, self-promotional business cards still don’t appear to be trying too hard." — KELLY CREE Via Under . . .
Paper Art Magic
If you're talking about dedication to one's craft...Calvin Nicholls is your man. Some of his pieces can take a couple of weeks to create, and the more elaborate pieces sometimes take a year to complete! This amazingly detailed work is carefully formed from an initial hand-drawn template, with the haut-relief effect being achieved through a meticulous process involving X-ACTO knives, . . .
Scrabble Typography
Being a fan of both Scrabble and Typography, I've gotten a bit obsessed with this new edition of the game. Andrew Capener has selected 12 great new fonts for the letters to be featured on the solid wood Scrabble tiles. Who else wants to get their hands on a set? Via Toyland . . .
Mirrored Geometry
Witchoria (aka. Brooklyn-based graphic designer Victoria Siemer) created a series of photographs which blends geometric shapes into natural landscapes to produce fragmented reflections within each image.
