February
At Alphabet Arm we’ve teamed up with Flagship Press to create a unique, fine-art inspired calendar. The coolest aspect is that each month will be radically different in regards to the artwork and printing techniques. Each month will serve as a handy reference to different print processes and paper stocks as well as ample eye-candy.
I designed the calendar for February.
The name February comes from the Latin word "februum," which translates to purification. After the densely-layered imagery we created for January we wanted to make something stark and elegant to purify our "design" palettes—if you will. As a studio we obsess over typography and we certainly enjoyed creating this strictly-typographic composition. Did you know that February doesn’t always have a full moon? This year it ends with one!
Production: Opaque white ink / blind emboss / Curious metallic stock
Dimensions: 7" x 10"
Did you know that in Australia we had a blue moon in January (2 full moons in one month); that we have no full moon in February; and a blue moon AGAIN in March.
Apparently to have two blue moons in a year is very rare and only occurs 2-4 times ever 100 years.
So there you go.
