Trying to get your brain to think of snowflakes and hot chocolate in the middle of the summer was a bit difficult, but I still managed to crank out some great designs! I've included a few that are live on the tp corporate site.

People/friends ask me where I get my inspiration for my work and where I come up with new design ideas... and quite honestly, ideas are everywhere. I have hundreds of pages of magazines torn out, photos on my phone from things I see out and about, clothing trends, interior design books, etc. However, for this round of holiday submissions, I created several inspiration boards...which means that I basically spent hours and hours compiling holiday images that I was drawn to or found interesting. I copy and paste the images together on a big art board within Illustrator and then print it out. I usually search for interesting font pairings, fresh color combos, original illustrations, phrases, etc....I use these boards to refer back to when designing when I'm feeling stumped. These images were pulled randomly off the web and unfortunately, I did not make note of the sources...If you recognize any of them, please let me know and I'll be sure to include the link.
