A look at our: Creative Brief for September

Around the first Tuesday of every month, we add new content to our design software.  With each release, we add content created around Holidays, trending themes, and building elements.  These building elements, we think of them as “maker” kits, give you the various pieces that you need to assemble things like logos, monograms, or even maps.  Each month, we’ll add a new blog telling you what is coming, what products they’ll look great on, and tips and tricks on how to use them.

September Collections

One of the highlights of our September content release is a dynamic collection of 3D flowers inspired by social media content creator Angie Holden. This collection is full of these realistic paper flowers that virtually jump off of the page.  In her signature color palette, these backgrounds and designs inspired by Angie will look great on tumblers, notebooks, and coasters of all materials.  These fun, bright, paper flower-style patterns and designs will add a welcome, vibrant pop to the traditional Fall palette.

We have several collections this month focused on Thanksgiving and Fall.  Our adorable Pumpkin Spice collection is a fun and bubbly collection celebrating Pumpkin Spice season. These trendy designs are compiled of pumpkin-related elements mixed with character elements to make it easy to create your own fun design.  Mix and match the elements to create pumpkin spice treat of your own!  These of course will look great on tumblers and mugs, but on t-shirts and totes as well!
