For summer 2015, the Target design team partnered with the estate of Charles M. Schulz, creator of the beloved PEANUTS®.

As an avid reader of the comic strip as a child, it was a tremendous honor to assist in adapting the iconic artwork for print and pattern. TO delight every guest, we needed to create repeats that exemplified the Peanuts® characters in a swift and single glance. The recognition should be immediate and the application versatile. After thumbing through endless pages of strips from the comic’s vintage period - between the mid 1960s to late 1970s - I extracted the most representative and iconic elements. The lines of Snoopy’s dog house, the swirling whirls around Pigpen, and of course, Charlie’s unmistakable chevron, all have a place in the playful and energetic Peanuts® SMS story.
