Calendar Cards

Based on an original challenge on www.elzr.com, this group features calendar designs to fit a year comfortably within a business card.

The challenge:

- The bigger the type size (or meaningful features) the better.

- The smaller the design the better. The original goal was for it to fit comfortably (you can use both sides of the paper) within 86 by 54 millimeters (3.370 by 2.125 in) of paper (your standard business cardWP) but something slightly bigger could be just as useful. We are going for useful. (Thanks Dave Pawson!)

- Immediately understandable (or pretty darn close).

- Should span an entire year.

- On any given “date” of the year, be able to easily tell what its name, its month, and its month number is.

- Instant: The less steps you need to know before knowing a date’s data the better.

- Contextual: You should be able to easily “walk” from a date to another one close by, thereby counting the days between them. People do this all the time.

- Markable: You should be able to easily mark (circle, cross, check) holidays and special dates.
