2013 calendar trial #1

We have a calendar project nowadays for which we have to design only the first three months. It can be a desktop calendar, a wall calendar, anything you like it to be. When we were told that the calendar must be at least A3 size, i decided to go with the wall calendar. My intention was to make something simple and clear because i thought that noone would spend more than 2 minutes to figure out the dates. But at the same time i wanted the calendar to send a reference to cazyap logo. So i played with words 'ocak', 'şubat' and 'mart' and tried to make them look like the logo. But at this point i'm not pretty sure playing with the letters will fit to all months. When it comes to the images i used; i selected three instrument photographs from sxc.hu. They were not great photographs but i tried really hard to think what they could become as Elif Ayiter says. So i played with their colors and changed their appearence a lot. One cannot tell immediately that they are musical instruments after the changes that i made.

So i'm posting the earlier versions of the photographs for you to see the dramatic change.

This one i chose for january.

This one is for february.

This one is for march.

Here is my first calendar trial:

2013 wishlist

After i heard pretty bad comments about the wishlist that i posted earlier, i started on designing new ones. So i got the approval for the one i liked the most. I was thinking about carving the letters on a wood panel, but our teacher told me that would be a pretty hard thing to do, so she suggested me to print the wishlist on an acetate and then stick it on the wood panel. So this is how it looks like;

This is simply a test run that i made to see how it would look like, this is bad photograph but still gets to show you how it looks.
