Each year we create, illustrate and write a custom holiday card to give thanks to all who support us past, present and future. We are very grateful for the opportunity to serve and hope you enjoy our festive and creative annual Holiday Lights!
Inspired Light – 2016
Designers are required to meet deadlines. Norman Rockwell an accomplished artist delivering approximately 140 covers including the Saturday Evening Post by 1938. Even the most brilliant run light of ideas. At the time, scratching his head searching for the inspiration with the lucky upside down horseshoe above and pocket watch of the lurking deadline above, the young artist elected to do a self portrait sitting at the blank canvas. Look close, Rockwell was not illustrating deadline pressure, but the challenges of staying focused and organized. His tools in disarray, on the floor are the paint palette and brush handles are lying in clumps of paint, his inspiration books and sketches are askew underfoot while the maulstick (to support the hand while painting) is beneath the chair and out of reach. One wing of his collar appears about to take flight! The illustration is about professional stress and the artist who does not keep a clean and organized space while in the flow of creation to deliver on time. In the moment life is in full swing, children are having challenges and the bills are non stop. With all the challenges, we deliver our inspired Card every year to remind you are the Inspired Light for us!

“Meeting deadlines and thinking up ideas are the scourges of an illustrator’s life. This is not a caricature of myself; I really look like that.” -Norman Rockwell.

The WhiteLight Design holiday card is a vision of the future of the Christmas holiday season. Santa is based at Northpole Industries with the elves and reindeer. Santa embraces industrial design, 3D CAD, product engineering and rapid prototyping. The prototype team invested in a rapid printed prototype shop to compliment the full prototype shop. New materials and production technologies are used to meet the wish list demands. Each year the graphic creative design team assembles the holiday card to celebrate the years achievements. From the toy shop to the transportation systems, Santa looks for the highest quality possible with sincere commitment to performance and global gifting with Human and Elv Factors. From packaging to full branding design, WhiteLight Design uses industrial design and product design engineering to create efficient and elegant solutions. From plastic to metal to aluminum to titanium, metal to plastic conversion our engineers work to model up the invention form the patent. Santa is also offering invention and provisional patent reviews for those just getting started. We hope you enjoy the many years of holiday cards as much as we enjoy creating them. If you and company are looking for a special invitation or holiday card celebration event give the shop a ring.
