Studio Brief 4: Calendar Research

As research for this brief I have looked at other creative calendars that would interest graphic design students.


"The Lego calendar is a wall mounted time planner that we invented for our studio," design studio Vitamins explain. "It's made entirely of Lego, but if you take a photo of it with a smartphone, all of the events  will be magically synchronised to an online, digital calendar. It's colour-coded for different projects and represents a simple but effective way to organise a studio that's anything but boring."

This CMYK calendar is a daily inspiration for anyone that loves colour. Each day a colour stripe can be teared off, with new colour combinations then exposed. Printed on coated and uncoated paper, the stripes can be collected to create colour matching fans. The exact CMYK data is printed on every stripe.

This gorgeous calendar print was inspired by JW Goethe's circle colour concept. It reads like a watch, displaying the monthly temperatures in colours, with the four seasons including solistices and equinoxes as well as all (full and new) moon phases in 2014.
