Research Vast amounts of research was carried out to determine the final concept. This continued throughout the rest of the development, which became the content that drove the design approach. The research was mostly sourced from the internet as the initial ideas were developed from the concept of toying with fake information, which related to the evergrowing amount of
false, made up, misleading and often modified information commonly found in the internet due to the nature of it being nearly impossible to monitor and regulate. Rather than making content up from scratch and labelling them as predictions, I wanted it to be more relavent and grounded with the concept, therefore to tie in with structure of a conventional calendar, I researched into
historical events for every 365.25 days of a year. Each date would be referenced to the exact date on the current calendar, except that it is being placed into the context of a 2012 calendar and appearing to be predictions. Events vary from prominent gigs in the 60’s to the invention of the 1st Apple Mac, all to cater for a wider audience of varying tastes, age and interests.

The general design of focused on the layout, method of arranging type and the balance between aesthetics and function of a calendar.

In comparison to the calendar design, the publication acts as more of a guide and more indepth investigation into the concept, therefore adopts a more ‘manual’ like design to it. The design direction is relatively minimal with it’s emphasis on readability and the function of it as a booklet.

Document dimensions 190mm 274mm
The publication acts as a complimentary copy for the viewer which comes with the calendar series. The approach follows the initial identity of the calendar and the layout in general works well as an archive of all the events but with more details, acting as a reference booklet.
