In this showcase of great calendars I’ve tried to present unique and innovative approaches to one of the most traditional products. Today most calendars are designed in a standard fashion, and we can’t see any creativity in them.

This design combines a soft-toned background image, elegant frame and beautiful cliparts that highlight the chosen picture and make a great composition. What’s more, such a calendar helps you keep all the appointments and commitments in one place, as well as control their accomplishment. Commit to using a family calendar as a way to be more organized!

Motivation Calendar

Here’s another calendar created in a more appealing manner. You should keep in mind though that a peculiar design isn’t a recipe for success. However classy and stylish it may be, a great calendar should always remain usable. The bigger part of this motivation calendar is taken by an inspirational quote that can cheer you up even in a tough situation. If you’ve decided to make a similar design with your own hands, use contrast colors and bold fonts so that motivation words will instantly catch the viewer’s attention and set them on the right path.

Symbolic Calendar

As the Chinese horoscope says, 2017 will be the year of the Fire Rooster which is the sign of triumph and success. If you follow Eastern traditions and want this year to be prosperous for you and your family, you should definitely make a calendar with the year’s symbol. Like other tokens of the Chinese culture, this design blends different tones of red and yellow, and includes themed cliparts representing paper lanterns and the peculiar roofs of traditional houses. While working on your custom calendar, try to be moderate, though, and don’t overfill it with distracting details.

The list of creative calendar designs wouldn’t be complete without a collage calendar made of some themed photos. This one revolves around a seaside vacation and creates a romantic mood. You need just to combine the pictures of your favorite places into a gorgeous calendar and keep them with you throughout a long and eventful year. You can also realize this idea in the form of different calendar types. Whether you choose a wall poster, booklet or desk calendar, the design you make will evoke the best memories and walk you through the sites holding a special place in your heart.
