"2008 Calendar: Once more around the sun" was designed by W. Bradford Paley, an acclaimed interactive designer and a recognized leader in the field of information visualization.
It was made to allow easy travel conflict spotting (since you can circle contiguous days with no weekend breaks), and to let people mark with one or two words the more important events during the year.
It is printed on newsprint-like stock, folded, and distributed in packages of three to help people feel comfortable using it as a scratch pad on which to plot their lives.
A package including the following:
- three unusual 25" x 26" radial calendars (folded to make a perfect quarter, identical to the size of vinyl LP)
- two small linear calendars
- two small radial calendars
A package of 7 calendars in all: fun for friends and family.
The visual/cultural resonances with ancient native American calendars, mandalas, antique engravings of the solar system; red weekends at the bright center and the wavy outer corona all have been turned to directly support the calendar s use as a tool. It contextualizes every hour, even on a year s time scale: if someone marks the calendar, then looks back in even as little as an hour, they will be able to see time's inexorable march.
