Artifact Overview

Linda Powell began designing posters for the Herman Miller Christmas Party in 1976, the same year she was hired at the company as an internal graphic designer. She designed eight Christmas Party posters over four years, four of them for the 1978 Party's "Sounds of Christmas" theme. Each poster focused on a particular sound -- "Ho Ho Ho," "Fa la la la la," "Smack," and "Jingle."
