Loving this work by young South African creatives Marize Engelbrecht and Chrizanne van Breda. An exceptional concept executed beautifully resulting in this thought provoking calendar for National Geographic.  2010 Gold Loerie Award Winner + 2010 Silver Sappi Think Ahead Award Winner

The rationale behind the concept:

"National Geographic Magazine aims to educate their readers in order to inspire them to protect the planet. We chose to focus on the threat to Africa’s endangered species in our calendar. The calendar is designed in such a way that, as the weeks pass, you can see Africa’s most endangered animals literally disappear. We hope that this will create awareness and inspire people to take action to protect our endangered species.
The look and feel reflects National Geographic’s objective tone through the straightforward handling of type and very structured, simplified layout and imagery."
