About Kayan 2022 カレンダー

Kayan 2022は、建築設計事務所のために制作された折りたたみ式カレンダーです。非塗工の中性紙（木材パルプフリー）に印刷され、折りたたむと持ち運びや保管に便利な小さな正方形になります。広げると、壁やボードに掲示できる大判の正方形ポスターへと姿を変えます。各月は幾何学的なフォルムで表現され、日付はその形状に沿って流れるように配置されています。週末は判読性を高めるため別の色で印刷されています。余白を大きくとることで、メモを書き込むこともできます。年が明けた後は、ポスターを裏返すと建築ディテールのコラージュが現れます。

Unique Properties: The concept was to create a unique calendar design that has dual function and can be used after the calendar days end. 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.
