i quite like this calendar how it is a few different images though it is quite plain and i don't think this is a style i would like to look into.

the following are a few cool designs that i found on http://walyou.com/creative-calendar-designs/



i quite like this and i think it is a cool spin on the traditional calendar. i think this calendar would appeal to children and adults alike.


















this is another cool design and would be real interesting if it had inspirational quotes or an image underneath to reveal each day

here are some of the calendars that i found on http://bashooka.com/inspiration/creative-calendar-design-ideas-2013/


this calendar is quite cool and i like how it is interactive, though would require monthly set up


i really love the illustrations on this calendar though it has a pretty standard single page layout.



this calendar is pretty awesome with every day being on the on sheet it is a very interesting concept with the spirals.


this calendar makes me laugh with each of the months being illustrated by a silly holiday in that month, it is a cool concept and brings attention to those funny little holidays that are often unknown.



this on cracks me up, suppose its better safe then sorry. this calendar is amazing and i feel that it would probably sell really well as a novelty gift.

these are all awesome calendars though the exercise has a set template to work from so i will work around the template for my design.

Bma 243 - Board game research

for the board game i decided to use the 1980's scifi cliche that things in the future and things on screens would glow and with majority of the inspiration from the movie Tron both the 80's one and the new 1.
