I'm a little late with my New Year wishes this year! Since the holidays are behind us now, I want to wish all of you a colorful New Year and share with you the gift that I gave to my clients this holiday season. I always obsess over my holiday gift because I feel it should represent me and come from the heart. And this year, I wanted to do something different. Since color is one of my passions, I designed a calendar based on the color wheel. I separated the color wheel into 365 days (not an easy task). The dates and months are shown circling around the color wheel. I had to print this poster size, 19 x 24 inches or the dates would not have been readable. And from a distance, they aren't but I never intended this piece to be practical because the message and colors are the most important elements.
the message:
COLOR IS POWERFUL.
IT SPEAKS TO US. MOTIVATES US. EVEN INSPIRES US. COLOR SOOTHES, UPLIFTS, AND TOUCHES SOMETHING DEEP WITHIN OUR SOULS. IS IT ANY WONDER SOME OF OUR FONDEST MEMORIES ARE ROOTED IN COLOR.
WISHING YOU A COLORFUL & MEMORABLE NEW YEAR!
Since I received rave reviews from clients and friends, I decided to sell copies of the calendar. I'm offering two options: OPTION 1 is printed on fine art paper which is 100% cotton and acid free for $30 and OPTION 2 is printed on 65# bonded poster stock for $20. Both includes shipping and handling in the U.S. only. Please email me at mcole@marigolddesign.com if you are interested in purchasing a calendar poster. I did revise the copy a bit, taking out the last sentence and emphasizing the first sentence more – please see below.
If you are a designer or passionate about color, this poster is for you! It looks wonderful hanging up. Of course, I have one hanging in my studio and I love looking at the colors, especially on a gloomy day!
great job on the calendar poster, very nice
