On behalf of everyone at Tigerprint I'd like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and best wishes for 2013.
We've had an amazing 2012 and look forward to meeting and working with lots of you in 2013.
Today we close for the Christmas holidays but will be back with you Wednesday 2nd January!
Best Wishes

Making Christmas cards, draping trees with tinsel, walking down cold streets and seeing the lights glittering in the windows. Hot buttered crumpets on chilly mornings and hearty stews in the dark evenings. The Coca-Cola Christmas advert. The glee in finding a perfect present for that special someone. The Muppets Christmas Carol. Surrounding ourselves with the people we love the most. Spicy mulled wine, big chunky scarves, red cheeks and, of course, mince pies!

We had some great fun judging all your wonderful entries this morning especially with Christmas only a few more sleeps away!
There were some beautiful designs but unfortunately not all of them followed the brief and demonstrated Coming Together At Christmas. The entries which really stood out for our judges described what it is about Christmas that makes it such a wonderful time to spend with family and friends.
The winning entry above by Lizzie did just that with these adorable characters which had all our judges gushing. Congratulations Lizzie!

Emily wonderfully portrayed the journey to collect Christmas trees which we are sure we can all relate to. Well done!

A wonderful scene captured by Mark who has a beautiful and stylish illustrative style. Well done Mark!
A huge thank you to everyone that took the time and effort to enter and we sincerely appreciate all that goes in to these designs. Following briefs is at times tricky and Christmas is such a special time of year and very personal to capture.

Hello everybody,
It's nearly Christmas, and for the most part everyone seems to be gearing up for the big day super early this year.
With that in mind, I'm opening up submissions to get yourselves on the homepage carousel with your Christmassy 'we are tigerprint' interpretations.
Use ANY font, with your very own graphics/illustrations and we will showcase them and add link backs to your own websites.
Above is one I made earlier... it's pretty good!
I hope you can find the time to take part, after all, Christmas is all about giving.
Merry Christmas to one and all.
Graham
It's the first Monday of the month, so that means we've got some exciting little links for you to peruse. As it's December, we had to include a couple of Christmassy things, but that doesn't mean we've forgotten about getting your creative juices flowing! Have a gander and let us know what you think...
1. An
amazing collection of snapshots from Google Street View by Jon Rafman. What a
weird world we live in!
2. 20 Christmas
gift ideas for the designer in your life.
3. Copyblogger
tell us all about the 8 bad habits that are stifling your creativity.
4. DesignCharts
tracks the top 40 examples of excellent web design, and they do it weekly! AND
their archives go back to 2006!
5. Stay
in style with Color Forecast, a website which tracks the colours people are
wearing in the fashion capitals of the world.
6. Can
problems be solved with design alone? Peter Smart is giving it a go.
7. And finally, the Roald Dahl museum has loads of Christmassy workshops and events running throughout December. So get down there and oompa-loompa-doopedy-do some!
See you next month, when we'll be bringing you a MWS Monday to kick start your New Year!
