Time Travel, brought to you by Pickle Design


You may have seen our 2015 calendar circulating social media or in our latest newsletter. Every year at Pickle Design we like to put together a calendar and present it as a gift for our clients. Over the years this has taken the form of bookmarks, badges, concertina folds, colour wheels and illustrated trees. Last year we created a poster celebrating great 20th century chair design. This year, 2015, held some significance for fans of the movie Back to the Future 2 as this was when Marty Mcfly travelled to in their version of the future. This captured our imaginations so we started to think time travel.




2015 doesn't feel that futuristic (so far) but a few things from the movie have come into being. Take when Marty Mcfly (Micheal J Fox) sees Jaws 19, the reference to countless sequels and movies in 3d is pretty spot on. There is also hand held computers, hands free gaming and video conferencing. 


So in the studio we decided to take the theme of time travel and create a poster calendar that our clients might enjoy. We illustrated films, TV series and books, all hand drawn and hopefully not the most obvious reference. 

I wanted the poster to resemble blueprints and reference the Time Bandits map (who feature in the month of September). We are proud to admit that this calendar has put us in touch with our inner geek and it has been great fun researching the movies and drawing some really quite iconic images. 



We hope you enjoy the artwork, you can download for free each month as your desktop background. Enjoy!
