Send a Little Joy - The 2019 Holiday Card Collection for Mpix.com

Joy Draft Illustrated Christmas Photo Card for Mpix

The holidays are filled with many traditions that we look forward to each year — decorating the tree, spending time with family and friends, drinking cheery cocktails while wearing ugly festive sweaters adorned with tinsel and blinking lights! Although all of those are great, there's one thing I look forward to the most during the holiday season - opening the mailbox to see it filled with holiday cards from friends and family! 

As a stationery designer, I spend much of the year designing holiday cards. Spring, summer, and into fall, those holiday cards grace my desk and computer screens as we prepare them for their delivery to mailboxes all across the world. One of the biggest design projects is for our partnership with Mpix. I'm so excited to share our 2019 Mpix Holiday Collection with you today!

This year's christmas card collection has a design for everyone! Whether you love clean and simple sentiments or you have a fondness for illustrated greetings of joy and merriment, you'll find the perfect photo card to spread good cheer to all your loved ones.  

Not familiar with Mpix? Well, take it from us. You'll love them! Here's why we suggest Mpix to everyone we know:

• As professional photographers we have a high standard when it comes to quality photo products. Mpix offers top-notch professional cards. Only the best of the best here, folks!

• They have THE BEST customer service. Have problems? They have peeps to help! 

• Their elves are just as fast as Santa's! Order your cards from the comfort of your home and have them delivered to your door in just a few days (honestly, probably overnight because they have some kind of Christmas magic)

• Still not convinced? Watch this video. They're awesome people, creating great things, and supporting independent artist like myself! 

It's been an honor designing Holiday Cards for Mpix for the past five years, but the real thrill comes when seeing our cards being used by our friends, family, and strangers on the internet. From this tiny little design studio to tens of thousands of mailboxes this holiday season, it brings us great joy knowing that our designs are putting smiles on faces one card at a time.

Wishing you good cheer,

Adam + Amanda - The Modern Collective Team

I have a confession... // A Look Inside The Modern Collective Design Process

I, Adam, have a confession to make... it's messy, it's a bit dirty, and it's not my finest quality but today I'm sharing it with all of you. So here it goes..... 

I am a packrat! Now, hold on a second. I'm not to the stage of being featured on TLC's show about hoarders or to the point where I need an intervention! I just like my stuff and I struggle with parting with some things from time to time. Especially things that I know could be useful in the future, and for once my inability to throw things away actually worked in my favor. Let me explain! :)

It all goes back to my 9th Grade Art Class. Our assignment was to make a layered "tape" painting. Although the painting as a whole was a horrendous mess, certain areas had a lot of potential! Many opportunities came to throw this painting away over the past few years, but I just couldn't part with it. The painting landed on a shelf collecting dust... that is until the other week!

While flipping through the mail, a new GAP flier caught my eye. The paint styled text sparked my creativity and I instantly had the perfect plan for a new template design! It was the perfect project to incorporate my 9th grade art! I went to work, combining my old "hoarded" painting with a little digital magic and TAH DAH the Modern Artistry 4x8 Accordion Book was born! From 2004 to 2013, this template design has been a work in progress! I'm so glad I didn't throw that painting away!

Here's a look at how it all came together!
