Sometimes it’s nice to be able to apply good usability techniques to real world items. This concerns the esteemed River Cottage Diary. Nice diary, nice concept - recipe issues are seasonal, mixed in with the regular diary pages.
But what doesn’t work is that a key orientation cue - the month - is set way out of eyeline. So when you look at a date it’s not immediately obvious what month it is. The 12th of what, exactly?
(Not my spot, credit due to Alison Hawdale, whose diary it unfortunately is…)

Granted, the month would be much better placed at the top of each page. It really doesn’t stand out where it is.
