# MinimalistLinear Timeline Calendars The 6 Foot-Long Calendar Helps You Plan Your Year in Style By Tiffany | Published 2013-11-26 | Business Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linear-calendar References: [kickstarter](http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/thelinearcalendar/the-linear-calendar) & [news.silobreaker](http://news.silobreaker.com/brilliant-linear-calendar-shows-your-entire-years-schedule-in-a-single-timeline-5_2267266115472195627) Los Angeles-based designer has designed the first calendar to show one year's worth of events on a single, easy-to-read timeline: the Linear Calendar. The timeline helps us to [visualize time more naturally](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/time-progress) and fluidly. Instead of having a calendar where you go through every week, every row, every page you have to flip through, you simply have a [linear timeline for the entire year](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/days-been). Months are separated only by a single black line with weekends in grey. The visual aesthetics are [minimal, but clear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trace-line). The calendar helps us to visualize our dates or deadlines and even birthdays in a clear-cut and effective way that resonates with our own perception of time. The calendar can be hung horizontally or diagonally. You can choose to write on the calendar or even stick post-it notes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 44% | Activity: 86% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/business) > [New Ventures](https://www.trendhunter.com/newventures) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Linear Timeline Calendars:** Designing calendars that display a year's worth of events on a single, easy-to-read timeline, providing a more natural and efficient way to visualize time. - **Minimalist Visual Aesthetics:** Creating calendars with minimal designs that are visually pleasing and effectively convey dates, deadlines, and birthdays. - **Flexible Calendar Formats:** Developing calendars that can be hung horizontally or diagonally, allowing for different customization options such as writing or sticking post-it notes. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Design:** Opportunity for designers to create innovative and visually appealing calendar layouts. - **Stationery:** Potential for stationery companies to manufacture and distribute minimalist calendar designs. - **Productivity Tools:** Creating new productivity tools that offer efficient and customizable ways to manage time and deadlines. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Year-at-a-Glance Calendar Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/annucal.md) - [Coastal Desk Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lighthouse-calendar.md) - [Flipping Mechanical Desktop Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gnomon-perpetual-flip-calendar.md) - [Monochromatic Lunar Event Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2023-naps-lunar-calendar.md) - [Intertwined Marble-Made Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noova-calendar.md) - [Colorful Poster-Sized Wall Planers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-wall-calendar.md) - [Visual Time Awareness Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/time-awareness.md) - [Elegant Linear Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linear-clockworks.md) - [Event Timeline Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/event-timeline.md)
