Back in 1621, a group of colonists and Wampanoag Indians celebrated the autumn harvest in what is known today as one of the first Thanksgiving feasts in the colonies. Today, thousands of families use this special occasion to express gratitude and spend time together sharing a meal around the table.

Thanksgiving traditions are full of visual symbols that we can apply in seasonal designs. Along with harvest-related vegetables and plants, the turkey has become a central icon of the holiday. Leaves, spices, pumpkins, knits, wreaths, and candles are just some of the many motifs associated with the celebration. Whether realistically depicted, as in photography, or re-imagined in illustrations, Thanksgiving scenes exude coziness, comfort, and connection.
For a final touch, autumnal color schemes and rustic fonts can help you tie the whole aesthetic together. To help you select graphics for your Thanksgiving-inspired design projects, we have curated some of the best examples from Creative Market shop owners around the world.
