The StormDesigns Calendar

Since 2000 (the Y2k version) StormDesigns has created an annual calendar as a means of graphically expressing some of the most important dates for people and organizations at a glance.

The Year at a Glance

The Year at a Glance

The basic premise is seeing the entire year at a quick glance. Including the Holidays, Seasons, Daylight Savings Time and allowing you to add your own dates. By checking off dates (think "sharpie") as you go through the year it makes a great "You are Here" reference.

While we know "everything is digital now" we believe there are alternate realities in print and other media that should be exploited in a world where most businesses communicate in digital first and neglect the non digital reality we still live within.

The Date List

The Date List

A key to the functionality of the Calendar is the list of dates on the right side. This list, in date order contains a set of common or popular Holidays. We acknowledge that it can't contain every holiday everyone celebrates so there are extra lines where you can adlib your favorites.

Daily Callouts

Daily Callouts

One of the key of the StormDesigns calendar are the callouts within the calendar matrix. These ellipses (and other shapes)  correspond to dates on the date list and make it easy and instant to see upcoming special dates.

Although for many the calendar needs little explanation (by design) we decided it may be a thoughtful decision to explain how it works in case any of it's innovative little twists are unclear. Our goal is to democratize design for everyone so if you have suggestions or ideas, please share them with us here.

Seasonal Indicators

Seasonal Indicators

We give a special space to seasons as these are important transitions through each year. The StormDesigns Calendar instantly communicates when seasons start and end.

Daylight Savings Time

Being aware ahead of time of when Daylight Savings Begins and ends is an advantage we want to share with friends and clients.

Good Design =

Bad Design =

Design is in our lives every day. ”Great Design“ brings us fulfillment or even better joy, where bad design yields avoidable anger and frustration. Design is the tool we employ to draw attention and engagement with your business.

Breaking the "Busy-24/7!!" state of mind...

People are sensitive to how we present and connect with them. Correct marketing today needs to break through multiple barriers of resistance. As your marketing tech team we want to break through those impediments to introduce and explain your products, services and solutions. We make sure you're remembered and favored. That's what we design.

We know this can be the difference between guests loving your business or disliking it (or worse). When we design for clients we consider: Presentation, Detail, Strategy, Timing, Data, Review and more. Want to talk?

Our work takes the form of the visual User Experience Design (UX), User Interface Development (UI), Domain Name assistance and more. When Storm”Designs”, we use all of our senses to anticipate and be well-placed to your convert-able audiences. If you have a business, product or package to promote don't hesitate to get a project started. It costs nothing to initiate a project and we'll provide a valuable review for the opportunity - click here.
