Speaking from experience,
Calendar design,

Everlasting Adhesive Calendar
Originally created as a promo gift by designers Ivana Vucic and Orsat Frankovic, this roll of tape can function as an organizer, planner, post-it, tape, or sticker. A separate roll of 'days' comes with the main roll, allowing users to specifically adjust the tape to the time they need it, wherever that may be.

Although considering this method probably wouldn't influence my current design process greatly, I don't want to dismiss any innovative design as it could benefit at any time.




Aplina Paint Wall Calendar
I really love this response from SCHOLZ & FRIENDS for a brief set to develop an advertising medium to communicate the 'colour of the month'. It is simply a giant calendar 3Mx2M to be precise, each page revealing a freshly painted colour, showing how great these fresh colours look. Not only showcasing for advertising purposes in furniture and hardware stores, it also made a couple of appearances at selected art galleries.

Again, this isn't a particularly appropriate scale or theme for what I am trying to achieve, but I want to explore the concept of the 'calendar' in full, and wouldn't be doing myself any favours by dismissing any design.


Porta Alegre Calendar

A less eccentric design here from Grazielle Bruscato Portella. The concept simply works with stickers, 'sticker of the day', discovering what is behind the number, ironically a window or a door from the city of poto alegre. After browsing his Flickr profile, Portella has a vast library of images documenting the city, I'm sure the quirkier windows and doors made the calendar/poster design. When the year is finished, it produces the poster with all the images organized by colours creating an overall gradient.
