RESEARCH ABSTRACT:
Pocket style calendar was requested by our client. It was 3 times requests. We need a fresh idea differentiating past calendars. We got an idea that seasonal visual was drawn by pocket line and pictogram.

CHALLENGE:
There were some restriction of pocket line design. It had to be a straight line or a gentle curve to produce in machine processing. Kinds of line were limited within 6 types. It was very hard to clear these restriction.
