As a designer, I was inspired by the juxtaposition of traditional holiday symbols with modern, unexpected elements. The idea for this design came from a desire to blend the familiar with the surprising. Santa Claus, a beloved figure in holiday lore, is often depicted as jolly and plump. However, in this design, I wanted to challenge that perception and create a more rugged, muscular version of Santa.
The central figure in the design is a strong, fit Santa Claus holding an axe. This twist on the classic image of Santa adds a sense of adventure and strength to the character. The background is a soft pink, which contrasts with the bold reds and whites of Santa's attire, creating a visually striking image.
The inspiration for this design came from a mix of pop culture references and a desire to bring a fresh perspective to holiday imagery. The combination of Santa's traditional hat and beard with his muscular physique creates a unique and memorable design that stands out from typical holiday graphics.
