Classical Motif Abstraction Calendar

My current obsession is abstractions of classical and floral motifs. A few weeks ago I worked that idea into a calendar for my friend's birthday. I designed each of the months to fit on half of an 8.5"x11" piece of paper with a 1/4" border. Once all 6 sheets were printed, I cut each page in half. I used vectors downloaded from istockphoto.com and played with the scale and color in Illustrator, then I imported the backgrounds as jpegs into InDesign and added the text. My current Sans Serif font of choice is Myriad Pro.
