12 Points of Inspiration

•

I was asked to produce the calendar—12 Points of Inspiration—which had a recurring theme but a new subject every year. The challenge was to find something that would translate well across all 12 months while also maintaining a uniform and cohesive style.

As a lover of the outdoors, I chose 'Nature' as my subject of inspiration. With this being a desktop calendar, I incorporated intricate details in my illustrations while keeping the rest of the design simple. I got to spend a lot of time working on this outside, sketching ideas while observing nature up close, my favourite part of the project! My second favourite was hand drawing each piece. I then converted these to vector and had the calendar screen printed in spot colour onto textured paper to create an earthy and rustic feel.
