| DESIGN NAME: Different Everyday PRIMARY FUNCTION: Calendar INSPIRATION: The elements in this calendar stem from the buildings in Tongji University in Shanghai, China. I deeply admire the modern and unique architecture style in campus and I can often be inspired by the academic atmosphere and interaction created by these buildings. That's why I distracted the outline of the architectures as my design ideas. Tongji University is celebrating its 110 anniversary in 2017, which is why this calendar is designed exclusively. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The lines of the drawings stretch out of the picture serving as hooks. Users use pen to connect the dots in sequence day by day. At the end of each month, the incomplete drawings will be finished. Therefore, both practicality and elements of inspiration is included in this design. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Use pen to connect each dot every day. The image will be completed at the end of the month. A part of the lines of the image serves as a hook that you can hang it on the wall. Everyone will connect the dots in their own way. The type and color of pen of each person will be different. There are a thousand calendars in a thousand people's usages. Everyday people will create a difference and a surprise. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The projected started in March 2017 in Tongji University and finished in April, and was awarded silver in IDA in May 2017. However the connection of dots can be throughout one's lifetime and the duration of this design can be forever. In the future, different series and theme of the calendar will be designed using this pattern. FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Graphics, Illustration and Visual Communication Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Paper , wood Adobe Illustration SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: The size of the calendar is 210mm×297mm with the material of paperboard and iron wire. TAGS: Calendar, time, interaction RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Research Background:Tongji University is celebrating its 110 anniversary in 2017. Therefore, I want to design something special for my university. Methods: Photography. Visit the Museum of Tongji University Results: Tongji University is famous for its architecture. There are many ancient and remarkable buildings in the campus. Insights: I want to engage people to my world by the way of drawing. Through this interactive design, people can have fun making difference everyday for their own life. A calendar isn't simply something that tell you the date, it can also be something that remind you to cherish the new day. CHALLENGE: Initially, I distract the icons of each famous building in the campus, for my design will be based on them. When I finally decided to make a calendar, I was really confused. My first version was not attractive like this one at all. It was a rather normal calendar with all the dates on it in an usual layout. Until one day I came across a book that teach children to draw (there were dots on each page, all you need to do is to connect them), and this kind of engagement and interaction really inspired me to create my work. I will bring surprise and inspiration to people through this calendar. People will also create their own calendar in their personal style, and make a difference everyday.
