Antalis Calendar

Concept, art direction and design for Antalis promotional calendar.

As a paper distributor Antalis each year creates calendars that they send to their VIP clients like publishers, print houses, designers. Few years in a row I was selected to design their calendars.

The theme of this year’s calendar was a TREE, to emphasize the importance of renewable and green friendly trends. My concept for design was to use different eco-friendly paper and printing technologies for each month in the calendar. In fact, there are 17 different papers and 8 different printing techniques. We used foil stamping, UV varnish, laser cut, die cutting, lining, embossing, flocking, offset and silkscreen printing. Just to make it more interesting we attached a linen pouch with pine seeds to the calendar. In a funny way this small detail created such a buzz that clients were sending pictures of small trees that they grew from these seeds back to the company.
