Hello candy caners with beautiful brainers.
—Jack White

I had an elaborate idea to put together a holiday card this year, topping the line art cards I published last year (romanticising NYC... more on that from Vector soon). This year's theme was to center on the idea of "good cheer" and "mirth and joy"... one wrapped with red stripes; the other in green. All with a lovely modernist message inside from Madeline L'Engle. A classy little design, if not a bit supersaturated in color.

The card would invite further delectable treats online, following these themes through spoken word, recipes, stories, and philanthropy opportunities. And a key ingredient to this online confection was this little number I worked up. A floating peppermint, inspired by the Hewlett-Packard 2003 marketing campaign (Starbucks + hp).

More stories from an unfinished holiday project tomorrow...
