Black Friday

Black Friday seems to get bigger every year, but not for everyone. In an effort to show appreciation to their employees who often take the brunt of Black Friday chaos, Walmart, Target, Best Buy, and other large retailers now close their stores for the full day of Thanksgiving.

With the crowded conditions the holiday is known for, it seemed only fair to give employees the holiday off. And it gave the companies time to reevaluate online shopping and fulfillment methods to make holiday shopping better than before.

I created this collage illustration to address the changes the pandemic made to Black Friday shopping.
