Unique Calendar

2013 Hood College Calendar

I have never seen a calendar quite like this before. This unique calendar for Hood College in Frederick, MD makes for a quick and easy date reference. Each page has a digital illustration of a building or place on campus. Ellen Bryne, a freelance artist illustrator specializing in graphics and fine art illustration for editorial advertising design created all the images in the calendar. On the back of each page is a brief description of the particular place on Hood's campus.

The calendar comes in a plastic disc case. The lid flips to the back and is to be used as a stand. It is an extremely simple concept yet very practical. It now sits on my desk at work :)

Packaging

Stacy's Pita Chips, I believe, has one of the best chip bag packaging. When looking at the long isle of chips available to consumers, Stacy's immediately pops off the shelf. There's tons of colors in the chip isle. But Stacy's chose a basic route: black. The black bags stand out like a sore thumb in the colorful sea of chip bags. You can't help but walk over and see what it is. The 'simply naked' logo is, well, simple. Each variation of pita chip is awarded a different color banner but it's still the basic black bag that draws you in. The typography is elegant and the yellow type really stands out on the black background. Also, the images are always appealing and immediately makes me hungry!
