Eertmoed Studio's Reductive Calendar has been selected for Communication Arts Design Annual 67. Out of 2,258 entries, 114 projects made it in. The calendar is a self-published piece from Eertmoed Studio, and it now sits in print alongside work from design firms, agencies, publishers, and in-house creative departments around the world. You can see the full winners gallery at commarts.com, and the work appears in the September/October 2026 issue. Congrats to all the winners this year.

Calendar

Eertmoed Studio's design philosophy is reductive: reveal what matters by removing what doesn't. This calendar embodies that idea. Strip a calendar to its bare minimum and what remains is time itself, clearly arranged as simply as possible. Seven columns, one per weekday. Dates abbreviated to a letter and number. No headers, no grid, no holidays.

Size: 16 x 20 in. / 4-color digital printing / Hahnemühle German Etching paper

I'll be launching a 2027 edition starting Oct 1st (just in time for the holidays). There will be a special discounted price for those on my waitlist. First priority. Sign up below to get notified.

Nine jurors screened the field across two rounds of blind in-or-out voting, and a finalist needed at least six of nine votes to make the annual. Thanks to all of the jurors for the effort.
