Design Thoughts

Compared with the designs of previous years, we have changed the format of the calendar.  Earlier we used to give two months in a sheet. This time, only one month is in a sheet and the digits are arranged inside ‘S M T W T F S’ — representing ‘Sunday Monday… Saturday.’ The digits are in the font Constantia.
Following images show the metamorphosis of  ‘S M T W T F S.’

Version 2 of 2012 Calendar antzFx
Version 3 of 2012 Calendar antzFx



 
The first version had  ‘S M T W T F S’ in Constantia Uppercase. The second version had Constantia Lowercase. The current version uses an outline (without fill) of modified Swatch font.
I modified ‘t’ and ‘m’ in the Swatch font to better adjust the digits inside. The ‘s’ for Saturday and Sunday are rotated 90 degrees. These changes ensured that the dates coming under a particular week are in a single column rather than staggered as you can see in the first two versions (Sunday, Wednesday and Saturday). Also, I removed the black fill of the ‘S M T W T F S’ and retained a thin grey outline to give more emphasis to the dates and images on the sheet.
Dear Reader, I hope all of you will like this and will buy a print version from us.
