DAVID BOWIE THE OFFICIAL CALENDAR 2005
Graphic Design
 

 
 

CLIENT: SLOW DAZZLE WORLDWIDE, 2004

Slow Dazzle produce collectible, officially licensed calendars for music, film and TV brands. The design of David Bowie: The Official Calendar 2005  had a minimal look sympathetic to the photographs of Mick Rock, who photographed Bowie throughout his career, but specifically in his Ziggy StardustAladdin Sane  and Diamond Dogs  phases.

The plan was to release it in a limited edition, with a spot-varnished ‘Bowie’ logo on the cover (above left).  Early in development, it was decided instead to go for a more affordable release and the design was amended accordingly (left).  David and Mick signed 100 of the printed calendars.
