Interaction Design and the latest research in Emotion Design.- Beautiful art work and lots of food for thought
(monthly usability meditations).- Each month has notable dates (what you don't get on Outlook) so you can reference all the major holidays easily.

design all year round!
About the Calendar:
The calendar was created as a desktop (physical calendar
that sits on your desk) usability evangelism tool.
Each month's usability meditation is based on a Usability technique (eg Personas) or concept (eg Mental Mapping), an Interaction Design technique (eg Progressive Disclosure) or a concept from Emotion Design (eg Pleasurability). You'll also notice new user experience phenomenon that deserves more attention (eg Sociability) and from my own research (eg Synch).
The calendar follows the fun illustrations used in the Importance of User Experience and the Importance of Web Application Usability posters. I created the concept and content and Ferenc Andahazy illustrated and designed the calendar. We followed the illustration of Yahoo! Interaction Designer Bryce Glass since we love the personality in the illustrations he creates. Some of the illustrations are originals by Bryce, the rest are by Ferenc.
The calendar was a lot of fun to create and we hope it serves the purpose of bringing some cheer to your desk, some new insight to your user experience education and usability evangelism to your office!
Best Wishes,
Frank Spillers MS
