Design Work Life: Cataloging Inspiration Daily

Each year Tad Carpenter does a great job of com­ing up with a unique set of Christmas cards. He always uses a slightly off­beat, atyp­i­cal palette for hol­i­day, which in my opin­ion, makes the cards more fun. This year he’s used a bright tomato red, navy blue and white on chip­board; and they come with two sets of envelopes in navy and orange. I’m lov­ing the pat­tern detail on the back of each design. In addi­tion to his cards, Tad’s also cre­ated a set of “Holiday Homies”, four lim­ited edi­tion fig­ures silkscreened on chip­board. Each one comes with a stand, so they can be dis­played as part of your hol­i­day décor.
