Harry Allen's Timely Design for Real Simple

That sunny clock on the cover of this month’s issue of Real Simple? It’s the work of Harry Allen, whose witty/creepy take on the piggy bank has become a modern design classic. Real Simple creative director Janet Froelich commissioned four designers—Allen, Boym Partners, Scott Henderson, and Alan Dye—to create clocks for the magazine’s time-themed tenth anniversary issue. While Allen, Henderson, and the Boyms crafted tangible timekeepers that appear on the three different April covers, Dye designed a virtual clock in the form of a colorful screensaver (download it here).
