Illusionary Modern Calendars

The Anamorphic Calendar Creates an Obscure Design for Date-Keeping

— March 3, 2016 — Art & Design
Although the Anamorphic Calendar might seem like an abstract modern calendar, the design is actually focused on being something of an optical illusion.

The imagery on the Anamorphic Calendar can only be viewed from straight-on and appears as a morphing piece of artwork otherwise. The Anamorphic Calendar is designed and created by Szabolcs Németh of Hungary and is currently funding on Kickstarter.

The imagery on the modern calendar is achieved by creating an image that has been designed in a donut-shaped way. The steel cylinder placed in the middle of the modern calendar reveals the imagery, which changes from month to month. The 2017 calendar brings an abstract notion to date-keeping and encourages us to view our days a little differently.
