About Kayan 2022 Maramataka

He Tuhinga Pukapuka: He maramataka kōpaki a Kayan 2022 i hangaia mō tētahi tari hoahoa whare. Ka tāia te maramataka ki runga i te pepa rākau kore-uhi, ā, ka kōpakina hei tapawhā iti e māmā ana ki te kawe me te rokiroki. Ina wherahia, ka huri te rau hei tapawhā nui hei pāta mō te pakitara, mō te papa rānei. Ka whakaaturia ia marama mā tētahi āhua ahupūngao, ā, ka rere ngā rā huri noa i ngā āhua. Ka tāia ngā rātapu whakatā ki tētahi tae rerekē kia māmā ai te pānui tere. Ka waiho he wāhi mā, kia taea ai te tuhi tuhipoka. Ina mutu te tau, ka taea te huri i te pāta ki tua kia kitea ai tētahi kohinga whakaahua o ngā taipitopito hoahoa whare.

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.
