Horizontal calendars are out for 2011 and vertical ones are in if the MAKE Collaboration vertical calendar is any indication of things to come. MAKE Collaboration's vertical calendar is a top-down date tracker that is easily more eye-appealing than the standard horizontal calendars that are all-too common nowadays.
The MAKE Collaboration vertical calendar may look squished, but it includes every U.S. holiday and even has space for 36 custom items and two recurring events. Vertical calendars aren't the norm, but they should be. Most calendars are designed to draw you in with their awesome pictures, not necessarily their unique design. The MAKE Collaboration vertical calendar doesn't need women in bikinis or awesome cars to remind you of the day. The calendar is currently selling for $34.
