About Kayan 2022 Calendario

Kayan 2022 es un calendario plegable creado para un estudio de arquitectura. El calendario está impreso en papel sin estucar y libre de madera, y se plieganterior en un pequeño cuadrado fácil de transportar y de guardar. Al desplegarse, la hoja se convierte en un gran póster cuadrado para colgar en una pared o en un tablero. Cada mes se representa con una forma geométrica y las fechas fluyen alrededor de dichas formas. Los fines de semana se imprimen en un color distinto para facilitar la lectura rápida. Los espacios en blanco abiertos permiten tomar notas. Cuando el año finaliza, el póster puede darse la vuelta para mostrar un collage de detalles arquitectónicos.

It was designed in a foldable pocket size to make it easier for clients to collect and consider, when the calendar is opened it transforms into a big square poster that can be displayed on a board or wall. 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.

Research: Digital research of similar unique calendar designs, check availability of materials in the market, Kuwait is a very limited market in terms of resources and can be challenging to find the right materials for the right project. But keeping it simple was the best decision made.
Inspiration: The logo was inspired by the "Kayan" logo design, using the simplified shapes from the logo (triangles and squares) they created 12 unique shapes in different forms that looks like a broken cube, each form creates a unique iconic shape. The geometric shapes represents the architecture designs that are developed by the architecture firm.
Project Duration: Project started in August in Kuwait and was printed in December and distributed to Kayan's Clients
Operation Flow: The Calendar has plenty of white space for the user to add notes and mark important dates, which makes it very practical and functional.
