Reflection
This was probably one of my favorite projects because I could either create a calendar that had months with slight variations, or I could go crazy and design each month to be completely unique. I was also able to experiment with lots of tools in InDesign. It's amazing how un-restrictive the program is. I wanted to make it so that the overall look was cohesive, but each month was stylized enough you could also take any one month and design a whole 12-month calendar around that theme, and have all 12 calendars look completely unique.
