NOTACALENDAR26 by COPINGMICE x By Third Party [AVAILABLE NOW - link in bio] A somewhat cryptic design commentary for our May calendar page from NOTACALENDAR26. Initially the idea was to graphically present a sequence of dates in a spiral formation. The final design takes the spiral theme a bit further, with references to seasonal depression, spiralling rabbit holes, conspiratorial paranoia and finding comfort in embracing delusion. 🌀😵‍💫❤️ Limited to 50 copies - get your NOTACALENDAR26 today! #calendar #publishing #copingmice #graphicdesign #inspo #designinspiration
