About Save Calendar Kalenderillustration
Save Calendar ist eine Illustrationsserie, die für einen Kalender zum Thema Lebensmittelrettung entstand. Die Illustrationen zeigen ein landwirtschaftliches Feld im Wandel der vier Jahreszeiten Frühling, Sommer, Herbst und Winter. Die Farbgebung verändert sich mit jeder Jahreszeit, sodass sich die vier Zeitabschnitte leicht voneinander unterscheiden lassen. Eine symmetrische Komposition im chinesischen Stil verleiht den Motiven eine moderne Anmutung. Die Angaben zu Monat und Jahreszeit sind am oberen Rand jedes Blattes platziert. Die Zeichnungen wurden mit Computersoftware erstellt und im Format 800 mal 800 Millimeter gedruckt. Die Serie würdigt die harte Arbeit der Bäuerinnen und Bauern und erinnert daran, Lebensmittel wertzuschätzen.
