Pentagram - Love this calendar. It has small bits of information about the colour as well as some imagery using the pantone squares. I like how the images become more pixelated each week of the month.
Looking at different ways to present my research. This would be perfect!

STEPHANIE TRIMBOLI - This is really close to what I want to achieve for my pantone poster. The subject matter is really concise; I need to narrow down what toys to choose from to make the posters really clear. Trimboli has used two colours here, I will stick to one as it will really show up the main colours used.
Holi Festival of Colour - Celebrating colour with freedom and vitality.

Barbie I Can Be - To celebrate all of Barbie’s historic careers, Barbie launched the I Can Be range. It inspires girls to become Olympic Champions and have successful careers. However, the dolls are still dressed in pink and sparkly outfits. Some of the dolls are a ‘Baby Doctor’ and ‘Sweet Chef’ rather than marketed as a doctor and chef - so, there is still sexism at play. Also this Computer Engineer advertised above is not wildly available and can only be purchased at specialist stores.
