There have been a load of posts recently about what designers would like for Christmas, so I decided I would put together my own list.  This is in no particular order but do feel free to send me any if you wish!

We Are Paper Toys: Print-Cut-Fold-Glue-Fun

We Are Paper Toys! presents thirty-two of the finest paper toy designers in the world. Each artist gives us a glimpse of their world and explains their passion for paper toys through a personal interview.

The book includes a CD with PDF templates of some of the paper toys showcased in this book. They are ready to be printed, cut, and pasted so you can have these small works of art in your own home. It’s never too soon to start cutting, folding, pasting, and above all, having fun!

Stickerbomb

Stickerbomb is the first collectable, fully-peelable sticker book featuring illustration, graffiti, and graphics.

It is filled with an amazing collection of over 250 specially commissioned stickers by artists, illustrators, and graffiti writers from around the world.

An essential part of the street art movement, inexpensive, and easy to produce, stickers often act as an informal business card for graffiti writers, and a quick and effective promotional tool for many artists and illustrators. As more and more stickers are placed around major cities in the world, interest in the subject keeps growing. Many street art books to date have featured photographs of stickers spotted in urban environments. Packed with examples of the real thing,Stickerbomb offers the fun of peeling and sticking, and of owning and collecting cool stickers.

iPad

Dear Santa I really have been good this year, please could I have an iPod in my stocking.

Wacom Inkling

Inkling enables you to start off your artwork the traditional way, while making the first step of your digital workflow simultaneously – wherever you are.

I yearn to be a illustrator and so how I think this might make me brilliant!

The Little Know-it-all: Common Sense for Designers

This updated new edition of Little-Know-It-All is an invaluable manual of the knowledge required of designers as the evolution of the media redefines their role and expands the disciplines in which they must be competent. This is a great reference for a fresh design perspective.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
