About Save Calendar Ilustracija za kalendar

Save Calendar je serija ilustracija kreiranih za kalendar na temu čuvanja hrane. Ilustracije prikazuju poljoprivredno polje kroz četiri godišnja doba — proleće, leto, jesen i zimu. Boje se menjaju sa svakim godišnjim dobom, tako da se četiri perioda lako razlikuju. Simetrična kompozicija u kineskom stilu daje slikama moderan izgled. Informacije o mesecu i godišnjem dobu smeštene su na vrhu svakog lista. Crteži su izrađeni pomoću računarskog softvera i odštampani u formatu 800 sa 800 milimetara. Serija prikazuje težak rad poljoprivrednika i podseća ljude da cene hranu.
