About Irozuki Kalendaryo

Ang Irozuki usa ka wall calendar nga nagabag-o sa kolor sa matag bulan. Ang matag bulan nagpakita og lahi nga kolor ug ekspresyon, mao nga ang kalendaryo naglihok isip usa ka madanihon nga aksento sa sulod sa yano nga interior. Kung matapos ang usa ka bulan, ang nahuman nga sheet ibalhin ngadto sa likod sa kalendaryo. Human sa unom ka bulan, ang tanang sheets baliktarong ilid tanan aron mopakita ang ikaduhang hugpong sa kombinasyon sa kolor. Onom ra ka giimprentang papel ang gigamit alang sa napulog duha ka bulan. Ang kalendaryo may gidak-on nga 220 mm ka gitas-on ug 260 mm ka gilapdon. Ang pakete gimolde sama sa usa ka bulak ug gigunting gikan sa doble nga papel aron mapreserbar ang porma bisan asa ipakita.

Production Technology
How to use
Step 1: When the month is over, bring the finished one to the back of the calendar.
Step 2: After 6 months, bring June to the back of the calendar.
Step 3: Turn over all papers together and the rest of 6 months starts with Irozuki.
You can enjoy the different colours every month after bringing a piece of the calendar to the back. 6 months later, another colour combinations will appear for you.
We could make this changing point by using only 6 papers for 12 months.
Design Challenge
The package design part was the most challenging point of this. We wanted to pack this calendar like a flower but it was very difficult to keep their flower shape because it must be hung.
So we designed a flower-shaped package’s basement with double cutting papers.
Then we could keep it like a flower on any display.
Research
We went to lots of stores and exhibitions related with calendar and lifestyle for researching about colorful calendars and products. And our friends’ houses as well, for researching reality. Then we figured out a colorful calendar would be able to be a colorful interior/product cheaper than stylish designers products.
We believe a simple lifestyle, a simple interior are very good choices. But we decided to make Irozuki as a beautiful spot color like a cool interior product.
Inspiration
We aim to make a calendar like monthly flowers.
We believe a simple lifestyle, a simple interior are very good choices. But we recommend adding Irozuki as a beautiful spot colour like a cool interior product.
Project Duration
This project term was from October 2019 to November 2019 in Tokyo, Japan.
