Always know what day of the week it is

Doing a little cross-promotion here, I wanted to take a moment (or paragraph, rather) and spotlight the new 2010 Duran Duran calendar. It's just been released for pre-order on the band's website via their merchandiser, Crewe Issue. I spent the months of September/October designing it and am particulalry happy with this one. It's a little different than the past ones I've designed in that it incorporates many more photos than ever before. I was so inspired by photographer Kristin Burns' photos she took of the band on their West Coast mini-tour this past summer, I couldn't just pick 12! Kristin has a great eye, and her photos, when seen together, always tell a story. I wanted to bring that vibe to the calendar and make more of a visual documentary of sorts - like a small photo book of their brief tour. I'm pleased with it, it's fun and goes a step further than the past calendars. Check it out!

Also, John's shirt on the cover in no way influenced my choice of cover shot. Not at all...
