CALENDER EN PUBLIQUE

The 2022 calender I designed for Utrecht based design and marketing studio En Publique. The card functions as the Christmas card for their company. I designed this card with the changing of the seasons in mind, making each month connected with the one before. I used vibrant, warm colors to represent summer and embraced darker, cooler tones for winter. I wanted to make it feel like you were walking through an abstract city that changed seasons. I really love this style, and think it would fit well for a picture book or game too. So I might design some more with this graphic, city skyline look. 

Colorful illustrated calendar for the first half of 2022, designed by illustrator Ellis Tolsma from Utrecht. Featuring whimsical buildings and a landscape with a purple sky, each month from January to June includes days and dates, starting with weeks numbered in sequence.
A vibrant, abstract-themed wall calendar for 2020 crafted by illustrator Ellis Tolsma. The top showcases pink and orange geometric building shapes. Below, months from July to December are displayed in Dutch, with dates and weekdays in blue.
Four abstract, rectangular panels showcase geometric cityscapes in varying shades. From top to bottom: orange/pink, purple/blue, blue/green, and yellow/orange. Illustrated by Utrecht-based illustrator Ellis Tolsma, each panel features stylized buildings and landscapes with a distinct color theme.
