Handwritten Like Calendar
- Intent: To make a unique calendar of my own.
- Handwritten Calendars look arty and it was chosen as a good calendar format.
- There was access to a CNC machine.
- A template file was created in Inkscape, the Vector Drawing tool and the month files generated.
- Had to add support for other fonts and the files generated were then converted to a format suitable for printing.
- Had to experiment with various fonts and styles and sizes to make it look good.
- A batch of 15 calendars were produced and physically processed by a Calendar maker.
- A Limited number of copies of the 2023 calendar were generated
- It was made in two colors: ivory and card board style.
- It was well received by interested parties and all the calendars were sold out. Satisfying !
- Next steps for new calendar might be:
- To automate calendar generation via an extension for Inkscape.
- Allow users to specify important dates and custom images
- Auto generate calendar for printing.
- The 2 types in ivory and cardboard are as shown below
