# Crucifixion Calenders Stanley Ruiz Creates the Unique 'Anno Domini' By Tisah Tucknott | Published 2009-05-26 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crucifixion-calender-stanley-ruiz-anno-domini References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/weblog/cat/8/view/6403/stanley-ruiz-anno-domini.html) & [stanleyruiz](http://www.stanleyruiz.com/) Artist Stanley Ruiz has created one of the most unique calenders I have ever seen. The 'anno domini' (AD) calender uses the structure of the cross to refer to the Gregorian calender. Although Stanley Ruiz just finished holding an exhibition during the ICCF called the Model Citizens in New York City this week, more of his work will be on display in June. The Ctrl Alt DESIGN exhibition will be held in Seattle, WA from June 12 to July 12. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 4% | Activity: 23% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Religious-inspired Design:** Creating unique designs using religious symbols and structures can be a disruptive innovation opportunity. - **Alternative Calendars:** Developing alternative or unique ways to visualize and use calendars presents a disruptive innovation opportunity. - **Artistic Use of Symbolism:** Exploring creative ways to use symbolism in art and design can be a disruptive innovation opportunity. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art and Design:** The art and design industry can apply this trend to create unique and interesting products. - **Publishing and Stationery:** The publishing and stationery industry can explore alternative or creative calendars to differentiate from the competition. - **Religious and Cultural Organizations:** Religious and cultural organizations can use religious-inspired designs in their products, services or marketing to resonate with their target audience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Artist-Designed Advent Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/venchi-x-anna-higgie-prestige-advent-calendar.md) - [Intertwined Marble-Made Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noova-calendar.md) - [Flipping Mechanical Desktop Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gnomon-perpetual-flip-calendar.md) - [Unconventional Daily Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calendiary.md) - [Demure Dartboard Advent Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jo-malone-london-advent-calendar-2025.md) - [Surrealist-Inspired Clock Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salvador-clock.md) - [Coastal Desk Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lighthouse-calendar.md) - [Cubic Sci-Fi Advent Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-trek-borg-cube-advent-calendar.md) - [Linearly Formed Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linear-clock-concept.md)
