Calendar as map.

We design a new calendar and tour map for the Municipal Art Society of New York every two months, so we've had a really nice opportunity to evolve the design of this thing over time (this is the fifth one). It gets better and better. For the first time, we've placed all events on the map, keyed only the tours, and doubled the size of the piece. And it's a totally new, redrawn map of NYC, including all parks and bridges. As usual, a great collaboration between me, Erik and MAS.

Tint book to the rescue.

Disaster averted. I suspected that the green was not going to print well (especially for the monotones) and after consulting the printer's tint book saw that I was right. The green would have been terrible. We adjusted our palette and went back to Pantone 248. I call it purple but I've been told that this is definitely not purple (!). Whatever it is, the sheet looks great.
