Key to a happy new year

German typographer Harald Geisler designed my new 2012 calendar (thanks PB) and it’s a beauty. I love the soft colour and the subtle tones, it’s a nice twist on the modern mosaic. And the meticulous process – it’s a good concept (watch the video on Harold’s site). Bonus points for also being easy to use, with a left to right read and colour triggers to mark the passing of each month.

I’ve added a little green dot that I intended to move each day (although it hasn’t been moved lately I’ll admit). For those of us who used these plastic keyboards (remember how grubby they could be?) it’s nice to see that the old components can be recycled to create something special as part of Harold’s project.
