De kalinder is printe op ongestreken houtvrij papier en fâldet ta in lyts fjouwerkant formaat dat maklik te dragen en te bewarjen is. As it iepenklapt wurdt, feroaret it fel yn in grutte fjouwerkante poster foar oan de muorre of op in boerd. Elke moanne wurdt toand mei in geometryske foarm, wêrby't de datums om de foarmen hinne rinne. Wykeinen binne printe yn in oare kleur foar fluch oflêzen. Iepen wite romte biedt plak foar oantekeningen. Nei ôfrin fan it jier kin de poster omkeard wurde, sadat in collage fan arsjitektoanyske details sichtber wurdt.

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
