So did you get a horse or cat calendar this year? Wouldn't it have been cool if someone got you this Cut Out Number Calendar ($23.00) made by Present & Correct. It's a simple graphic cut out of numbers that form this sweet 2012 wall calendar. You can choose from neutrals or bright primary colors.  I know I would rather look at this calendar then look at the unicorn calendar I got for Christmas.

In the age of digital, to-do list apps have been a blessing in disguise, but let me show you another treasure for those hand list makers out there. Ryan McGinness has just published this unique to-do list calendar for 2012. It's the perfect resource for any artist, designer, or dedicated list-maker to have on his or her own desk. The To-Do List Calendar ($31.00) features a lightly gridded space on each page, which also features a unique drawing of one of McGinness signature symbols. The entire calendar is printed in one color 100% black and comes in a minimal and slick package.

Tim Wan is the creator of the Predictions Calendar Series. He states, "It's a series that interprets the definition of fakery by tampering with true events; placing them outside their original context to mislead, trigger nostalgia, and remind people of past events". It was such a success that it was awarded membership to International l Society of Typographic Designers. Not bad for someone who just graduated.

I personally find these calendars to be a great example of good design from the color palette choices to the layout and typography used in the design of these calendars. To bad these are not for sale. If they were they would be hanging in my house right now.
