Idea: Calendar Using Typography- Specification, Research

As it is time for a new project, I have come up with the idea of creating a calendar with classic rock artists' using typography to describe them. I will use Photoshop to create this project and it will be in color as I believe that will add a more attracting look to others. I've been researching previously on www.designbump.com and will continue searching the internet to locate other tutorials, information, and inspiration.
