My recent typographic homework was creating a study calendar for our faculty. We got a bunch of dates (faculty-related as well as red-letter days) and the following requirements:

• This would be a table calendar
• Paper size is 140 x 100 mm or smaller
• Each month should fit on one piece of paper, allowing for max 12 sheets (+1 for the title page)
• There should be some space for students to write down their notes and appointments
• It’s a study calendar and therefore starts with october and ends with september
• Design should be typographic

My first concern was the really small page size. How does one fit 31 days along with empty space besides each of them on 100 x 140 mm? i did some googling on table calendars, and found a shape I quite liked. This would allow for easy access when writting down notes, plus double my paper size (after all, a sheet of paper has two sides and we can use both!).

It took me a week o two to finish my design (not working on it all the time of course), but here it is:
Calendar - student year 2008/09
It’s best viewed in book mode enabled in your pdf viewer (2 pages, or facing pages), so you can see one month’s sheets side-by-side.

Font used is Anivers by Jos Buivenga, which is the same font I use on this website for main headings. Extra typographic elements are in Times.
I’m using two colors - black and pink, again, same as on this website. I was planning to replace the pink with a similar pantone, but forgot when working on it on the last minutes before the deadline. So the color used is C0 M80 Y15 K0.
Monthly poetry was found on this website.
Oh and it’s obviously in Slovene, along with old slovene month names

I also have the print version, if anyone is interested. Use it if you wish and do notify me if you find it useful. :-) Dates are specific to my faculty (NTF), but drop me an e-mail if you’d like a different version.
