Another new year, another new calendar — because nothing makes us feel the trembling of our mortality more than tracking time each and every day. If you’re like us, sometimes a digital calendar just won’t cut it. Enjoy putting pen to paper and watching the days flip by? Pick up one of these beautifully designed 2015 calendars that are sure to get your creative juices flowing.

A lovely, brilliant little calendar that imagines what the desks of historical women looked like — including Amelia Earhart, Mary Shelley, and Georgia O’Keeffe. Get inspired. $16
The Typographic Wall Calendar
A reimagining of the traditional calendar that uses computer keyboard keys to represent the days of the year (2,015 keys to be exact). From the website:
Yes! It is a real, usable calendar. This typography calendar makes finding dates a fun and creative process. If you read the keys from left to right, they show each day of the year in sequence: JANUARY TUE 01 WED 02 THUR 03 etc.
You can think of it like a string of all dates in the year. To make things easier, every month is marked by two arrow keys. After a bit of practice, you can orient yourself quickly within the grid. It is also possible to write directly onto the calendar.
