Thats right....it's that time again. The 2020 Graphic Designer Gift Guide - Print Edition. A little something for that designer who really appreciates print, who wants to get started with print design.
First up, a disclaimer, this year has been insane. As we all know. Do not feel any pressure to buy stuff for people. I will be sending Christmas Cards out to friends and family. It is something that isn't done enough, it's not that costly to create and mail a Christmas card, and that sort of connection is soooo needed right now. Start there!
