About Kayan 2022 Calendr

Mae Kayan 2022 yn galendr plygu a grëwyd ar gyfer swyddfa bensaernïol. Argraffir y calendr ar bapur di-gôt di-goed sy'n plygu'n sgwâr bach hawdd ei gario a'i storio. Wrth ei agor, mae'r ddalen yn dod yn boster sgwâr mawr addas ar gyfer wal neu fwrdd. Dangosir pob mis gyda ffurf geometrig, a llifa'r dyddiadau o amgylch y siapiau. Argraffir penwythnosau mewn lliw gwahanol er mwyn eu darllen yn gyflym. Mae lle gwyn agored yn caniatáu ysgrifennu nodiadau. Wedi i'r flwyddyn ddod i ben, gellir troi'r poster drosodd i ddangos collage o fanylion pensaernïol.

The dates are gray in color and the weekends are colored differently for easier identification. The numbers flow around the unique iconic shapes. Its design is very simple and can be easily read without the need of adding days above the dates. The poster is double sided, one side has the calendar design and the opposite side has a collage of architecture details.

The geometric shapes represents the architecture designs that are developed by the architecture firm.
