UGLY Sweater

UGLY Sweater
Introduction

UGLY Sweater is Microsoft's holiday gifting collection — five sweaters, each knitted out of software people grew up with. Paint, Solitaire, Windows, MineSweeper and Clippy come back as pixel-stitched artwork, with packaging built per edition and a gift card system that makes the unboxing part of the joke.
