Futures Illustration

2012 Futures Calendar

Since early 2010, we have been asking you What’s The Future You Choose? We selected 52 illustrations and invited 50 different artists to bring these words to life. The illustrators responded to an open brief that we publicised through the powers of the internet.

We are sharing these illustrations online, one every week of 2012 as a gift to you. It’s our weekly gift to you for 2012 – The Futures Calendar!

You can see all the illustrations together in our online gallery.
