Slanted Shadows, a Four-Color Palette
The sled is built from chunky vector blocks, dots and triangles float like confetti, and the palette is locked to four colors.
✍️ The trick here is the shadow, not the palette. Realistic lighting would drag it back toward plain illustration — swap in isometric fake shadows and the poster's design feel locks in instantly. Cap the colors at four and everything else takes care of itself.

Over a flat pastel plane, Santa rides a simplified hover-sled rendered in playful Memphis-style illustration, the sled built from chunky vector forms patterned with zigzags. Polka-dot discs and striped triangles float around him like graphic confetti, held within a limited palette of soft pinks, teal, sun-yellow, and deep red. Isometric-like shadows and clean, crisp outlines finish the look, giving the whole piece a design-forward poster feel.
