Process of Creating a Wall Calendar

As part of her diploma thesis, she designed, created and produced a vertical 12-sheet wall calendar that has a first title page, twelve pages with each month on its own page, and a back page which is the backing cardboard. She also found that her initial assumption that a calendar cannot be set up and designed without knowledge of programmes such as ** Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator** holds true.

Solution and Method

As part of her diploma thesis, she designed, created and produced a vertical 12-sheet wall calendar that has a first title page, twelve pages with each month on its own page, and a back page which is the backing cardboard. At the beginning of writing her diploma thesis, she set herself the goal of wanting to ** present the types and forms of calendars we use today as well as possible**, which she believes the author succeeded in doing, as she showed what sizes they are and what purposes they all serve. She used professional literature from which she learned a great deal of new information.

The calendar is designed in such a way that, due to its size and clarity, it is readable from a greater distance and thus serves its purpose. Thanks to the pleasant photographs, it can also serve as ** wall decoration. There is also enough space next to each day for ** marking important events.

The easiest part for the author was preparing the photographs, whilst designing the sample page took the author a little more time. Entering the name days was also time-consuming, but because she designed the calendar with pleasure, this did not present any major difficulties for the author. If she had to create a similar calendar, she would approach it in exactly the same way, as she believes she has already created this one in a professional manner in all respects.

Results

She also found that her initial assumption that a calendar cannot be set up and designed without knowledge of programmes such as Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator holds true.
