Concept
«The Apothecary Calendar» is a desk or wall calendar where each month is designed like a page from an antique medicinal reference book: featuring illustrations of pills, drops, mortars, vials, and balms in a vintage style. These illustrations alternate with short «recipes» and facts from the history of apothecarial practice—the calendar functions both as a souvenir and as a mini-guide to a museum, reminding the viewer of their visit throughout the year.
Structure and Dimensions
Dimensions: Vertical A6—a finished block measuring 105×148 mm (with a 110×148 mm bleed margin). The cover is printed on thick paper weighing 250–300 g/m², and the interior consists of 12 sheets on 120–150 g/m². The block thickness is approximately 2–3 mm; with a coil binding and stand, it is about 15 mm.
Construction: a desk calendar with a metal coil along the top edge—it holds the cover and 12 sheets, making them easy to flip through. The back features a cardboard backing with a folded foot, allowing the calendar to stand steadily on a desk. It is compact when folded and does not require wall mounting.
