# Crowdsourced Illustrated Calendars Stay Grounded with This Artsy 2014 ‘Calendart’ By Farida Helmy | Published 2014-01-20 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illustrated-calendar References: [thedsgnblog](http://thedsgnblog.com) & [calendart.nl](http://calendart.nl) Get inspired every day of the year with this artsy 2014 illustrated calendar project by Pieter Frank de Jong and Luca Boscardin. Showcasing very distinct illustrations by 13 illustrators from all over Europe, the Calendart is both a calendar and a collaboration art piece that brings different artists together to work on one final harmonious project. The simple and [intricate lines of the illustrations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/printed-decors) are so random yet the collection just seems to flow perfectly page after page. The Calendart can also make for an awesome collection of prints ready for framing after the year is over. Available on [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arcade-clock), the monochromatic illustrated calendar picks only one color to be boldly used on each page leaving the rest bare for the precise line work and concept to shine through. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 25% | Activity: 12% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North 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 - **Crowdsourced Art Collaboration:** Opportunity for companies to invite customers to contribute to collaborative art projects. - **Illustration-based Product Design:** Incorporate illustrated designs into products to add an artistic flair and increase visual appeal. - **Simple and Intricate Aesthetics:** Create products with seemingly random yet harmonious designs to appeal to the modern artistic consumer. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art and Design:** Crowdsourcing art projects and incorporating visual elements can add value to traditional art and design businesses. - **Print and Publishing:** Create opportunities to sell illustrated prints and collaborate with artists to produce unique projects. - **E-commerce:** Incorporate illustrated designs into e-commerce product offerings to enhance visual appeal and attract customers with artistic interests. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Colorful Poster-Sized Wall Planers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-wall-calendar.md) - [Coastal Desk Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lighthouse-calendar.md) - [Monochromatic Lunar Event Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2023-naps-lunar-calendar.md) - [Contemporary Chinese Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2022-yutlik.md) - [Unconventional Daily Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calendiary.md) - [Climate Change-Informed Cloth Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cloth-calendar.md) - [Artist-Designed Advent Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/venchi-x-anna-higgie-prestige-advent-calendar.md) - [Flipping Mechanical Desktop Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gnomon-perpetual-flip-calendar.md) - [Analog-Style Digital Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/klydoclock.md)
