Calendar Printing - Themes and Portrait Ideas for Unique Calendars

You can gather in plenty of inspirations for your calendar printing. With this ripe season where you can send out your very own calendars as gifts and even turn them into a promotional material for clients in the coming New Year, there really isn't anything stopping you.

Acquiring design ideas for themes and images can be quite hard, especially if you don't have a concept to begin with. Planning your calendars can be just as simple or hard. Remember to always assess how you want to use your calendars, the response you can gather from them and so on.

If you want calendars to gratify your personal hobbies and interests, all you need to come up with is a concept or theme. If you need a calendar that would do well to build up your image, augment your sales or other, then it may do well for you to sit down and think it over.

Nevertheless, here are some ideas you can use for your calendars that are more or less popularized by noted artists, the pop culture and more.

Themes for Your Calendars

1. Get inspiration from the noted photographer Anne Geddes. If you are into baby portraits or your business and interests are aligned to it, then create or shoot portraits that presents babies in cute dresses.

For personal family affairs, why not shoot your very own babies and toddlers. This would make as a great replacement for Christmas cards you send out.

2. Spoof. If you have a big family or are involved with different organizations, you can very well create group pictures or images that are injected with a bit of humor. You can spoof other notable television series. Make families pose as the Simpsons of the Family Guy among others.

This is not only a memorable calendar you can look back to, but an overall activity that would be great for the holidays.

3. More than including photos or portraits of groups of people, it is better to picture people in actions. Groups or organizations can create a documentary of past accomplishments within the year. Highlight important events. Make sure to use photos that take you or your group out from the usual environment. Let your audiences know that you are actually out there and doing something.

4. If you want a trip down memory lane, this idea may be most useful for high school reunions. You can use images on the most memorable television series of your time. Put up images of actors that were the rave back in the day. Include your own high school pictures or those events that were highlighted in your year book.

5. If you are into cooking or culinary arts, a calendar with its generous space would also serve to be a great cookbook in one. Highlight a special dish and use it as your portrait. Leave enough room to give out the recipe and instruction.

6. With the previous idea, use the same concepts for other interests, hobbies or activities. Show your audience with an end product they can come up with. This can be applicable from arts and crafts, gardening, beading, and more.

Use these calendar printing ideas for your own use and create more inventive ways for a calendar that will last all year long.
