Best Calendars of 2016
The calendars that won a GDUSA award in 2016, each with the firm and the designers credited.
11 award-winning projects
A calendar is the one promotional piece that hangs on a client's wall for a year, which makes it the cheapest annual impression a company can buy. The designer has to make twelve pages worth turning and keep the dates legible under the artwork, and the challenge is a concept that still feels fresh in November. The winners here pair a strong monthly image with a grid that works as a calendar. Bonavita Design's calendars for Unimac and Memorial Sloan Kettering's Caring Canines calendar both won for giving a year a theme people wanted to look at. The best calendar designers in the awards are collected here. Open any calendar to see every month and learn what made it work.
