Here is the outcome of my calendar design - and let me say this was probably my least favorite project. I was a little overly ambitious and it really came around to bite me in the butt. I used that stylized type that I created out of brushes I made in Illustrator. Well, since I wanted to highlight the northern and southern hemisphere that really made it double duty on myself and I thought it would easy but as I added more and more months, the file size got larger and larger, which made it difficult to work in indesign as the program slowed WAY down because I had to keep the vector images sharp so I could see what I was doing, but anyway - I could rant about that for a long time... When I look at it though, I just feel like it's lacking a bit all around. (I am my own worst critic if you couldn't tell). Even though I did finish the project, I do feel like I should go back and work on it eventually. I wish I had highlighted numbers a little bit better as this was for the "numeric institute" but what I decided to do was make it as though the "numeric institute" was featuring their artists series where designers created their own calendars and the "numeric institute" was selling them for the artists.
Anyway this is a long post - the first calendar being the northern hemisphere and the second being the southern hemisphere so enjoy!
