Walking Calendar

Brief

Firstly, it is a corporate product that is supposed to be an interesting present creating a festive mood. Functionality and unique idea should be combined in this calendar. These factors are decisive to stimulate people to place the calendar on their desktop for a year. It's supposed to serve as another reminder of the care and protection provided by HUGGIES to the babies' skin. The usage of corporate colours is recommended. Target audience is formed of the people directly related to the brand promotion and contacting with the end user: management of the HUGGIES distributors, local sales managers, pediatricians.

Challenges

The calendar should faithfully represent the brand philosophy and basic values. HUGGIES brand philosophy implies joy, pleasure, freedom of discovery and learning of the wonderful world, comfort and liberty of welfare. HUGGIES allowsa baby to walk easily through the life, learn the surrounding world and not to care of the “small problems” that might happen. In HUGGIES' eyes, each baby is an individual. The child's world is unique and amazing and play is a serious business.

Design process

We've created the idea of two "baby's feet", that move along the page imitating the baby's steps and showing the current day. This method faithfully represents the freedom of motion, the processes of baby's development and learning. Every new day is a step forward. HUGGIES corporate colours: blue, green, yellow, orange stand for winter, spring, summer and autumn. The surrounding world is shown as a pattern of simple things from which a baby starts to discover the world. The calendar is made of colour paper by silk-screen printing. It looks childlike and innocent, as if it was hand-made.

Results

The calendar came out to be a real surprise for those who got it. Their first reaction was amazement. People wondered what it was and how it worked. And after trying to move the "baby's feet", the message became clear. The calendar raised admiration and joy. It is a present that attracts attention, cheers up and evokes positive feelings all year round. And, above all, it reminds people that HUGGIES remembers them and cares about their babies.
