Holiday Hosting: Our Guide to Joyful, Stress-Free Festivities

Client: Real Simple Magazine
Art Director: Amy Sheehan
Illustrator/ Designer: Amelia Manley

An illustration and photo treatment developed for sponsored content on Real Simple’s website. The content covered from what to serve on Christmas morning to how to make guests feel extra special, and all holiday hosting needs. This illustration synthesizes hosting down to the most important part of a holiday party: the meal, while also incorporating other aspects such as decoration. The pink and red color palette reimagine the traditional red and green, while also fitting into the publication’s branding.
