About Project
A decorative calendar design inspired by WPA travel posters. I chose to highlight twelve landmarks from across the country. In this project, I was focused on creating fun, colorful illustrations paired with a strong, clear typographic system.

Project Phases
Moodboard & Color Palette
First, I developed my concept for the calendar design and gathered the twelve images I wanted to use. I then selected potential fonts, created sketches for InDesign layouts, and developed twelve distinct color palettes to give each month’s image a unique visual appeal.
Image Editing
I then edited each image in Photoshop before exporting to Illustrator where additional edits were made to create a consistent posterized look.
Calendar Development
With my fonts and images selected, I iterated off my earlier layout sketches to create the final calendar design in Adobe InDesign.
