I found this small piece of glossy paper included in a box here at work. I’m taking it home to pin it to my wall. It is the Charlie Brown’s Christmas Tree of design. Here’s what I love about it:
1. The randomly capitalized Y.
2. The weird paper size (it’s less than 1/4 of a page).
3. The huge line height.
4. The clinical use of condensed Univers.
5. The bottom-left alignment.
6. The missing period at the end.
This just feels like it was made in a total design vacuum, but with much tender love and care. It makes me VERY happy.

It was a shipping error. That box was supposed to be sent FedEx to God.
Laughing. Now it all makes sense. And it gives a doubly good reason for it to hang on my wall. Thanks for investing a poorly designed packing slip with spiritual significance.
