A calendar design inspired by iconic seasonal Japanese elements of nature. Each month is represented individually by a unique abstraction of the seasonal element, which ranges from flowers to fruits, all icons that hold a significant cultural meaning representing the month.

​

Stylistically, the colors are derived from the featured piece of nature associated with the month, and the designs themselves are geometrically abstracted variations of their natural form counterparts. 

​

The design seeks to harmonize the verticality and fluidity of eastern forms with the the more horizontally bound and rigid western forms. 

​

This project is dedicated and inspired by my grandmother, who introduced me to the importance of calendar aesthetics at a young age. (Love you grandma.)
