Usee Advertising Company’s Time Slide desk calendar won Silver in the A' Design Award’s Graphics, Illustration and Visual Communication Design category in Como, Italy. The recognition spotlights a reusable, slide-based calendar that blends sustainability, precision manufacturing, and daily usability.

Why it matters: - Time Slide shows how a desk calendar can combine reuse, material efficiency, and emotional appeal in one product. - The Silver A' Design Award places the project in an international field judged on innovation, function, and visual communication. - The recognition gives Usee Advertising Company a stronger platform in graphic and product design.

What happened: - The A' Design Award named Time Slide, a desk calendar by Usee Advertising Company, a Silver winner in the Graphics, Illustration and Visual Communication Design category. - The announcement was made in Como, Italy, on July 3, 2026. - Time Slide was developed by Usee Advertising Company, with Ho Shu Ping and Yeh Hui Yu contributing to the design and execution.

The details: - Time Slide uses a slide-based system instead of a traditional page-flip format. - The design lets users remove, insert, and shift each month from front to back. - A reusable acrylic holder pairs with interchangeable monthly sheets. - The calendar uses 450gsm Favini Contact Pack paper. - The paper choice supports a refined matte finish and structural stability. - The design keeps a two millimeter edge clearance to balance firmness with visual lightness. - Each month has distinct die-cut specifications and a unique color palette. - Precisely laser-cut patterns create layered shadows as light passes through the forms. - The layout separates reading and writing zones for everyday use. - The project was shaped through extensive prototyping, including calibrated laser focus, optimized cutting parameters, and refined registration control. - More information is available on the dedicated project page.

Between the lines: - The award reflects a broader design trend toward objects that last longer and feel more personal in daily use. - Time Slide’s mix of craft and production precision suggests the studio is using design awards to validate a more experimental approach. - The project also signals how sustainability can be expressed through format and structure, not just through materials.

What's next: - The award may lead Usee Advertising Company to pursue more work at the intersection of sustainable materials, precision manufacturing, and conceptual design. - The studio has said the technical knowledge from prototyping will inform future projects that need similar rigor. - The recognition could support additional visibility for the team’s broader branding and visual communication work.
