Marathon's art direction is one of the best out there right now (and after playing a bit of the alpha I am excited for it) but I also have to call it like it is: an aesthetic designed to appeal to people who collect sneakers

In 2025 I put up a full year calendar that I designed and this is how it turned out at the end of the year! I really enjoyed having the analog ritual and love looking at the entirety of it. I'm excited to do it again in 2026!!!
