The KARA 2018 desk calendar combines the convenience of traditional scheduling practices with modern design, offering consumers a stylish and simplified means of keeping track of one's year.
This calendar differs from others of its kind, as each month features an illustration depicting the artist's daily routine, as opposed to a glamorous editorial. The mundane scenes include a woman sitting in a tub, eating a pizza or taking a selfie. The adorable and humorous illustrations that mark each month challenge the traditional "pin-up" style calendars, which promote unrealistic body standards for women. This desk-friendly calendar aims to represent a more accurate rendering of a woman's daily routine, while offering the user a stylish organizational tool.
In addition, the 2018 variation of this calendar comes complete with a sticker set, to help users customize their scheduling.
