 Project Brief

After establishing an online presence as the proverbial water cooler for graphic artists and designers to learn about all things digital inkjet, we wanted to create a functional print piece that demonstrates the stunning print and color quality of digital inkjet. 

We wanted the piece to be a physical point of inspiration to help fuel design creativity, while also serving as a fun, easy-to-use tool to help designers stay on track and organized. 

 Solution

A 12-month calendar proved to be the perfect print vehicle, allowing for creative freedom and utility for designers and printers in helping them organize their deadlines and ideas. 

With a more abstract approach to color and design, the calendar reinforces the Dot + Pixels branding, but it also pushes the envelope of the website’s look and feel, creating a one-of-a-kind print piece. The blank spaces on each month for notes and doodles make the calendar extremely handy, and the detachable nature of each sheet makes it easy to save ideas long after the calendar pages turn. 

The brilliant color quality of the Dots + Pixels 12-month calendar appeals to graphic artists and printers alike as a shining example of what can be achieved with digital inkjet.
