How to make a calendar in one hour

[adrianka]

I've had a day from hell at work today... so I thought I'd brag a bit about something I did yesterday.

I've been doing calendars each year since several years, each time a bit differently... but always very much late. Yesterday I had this idea to try to think about a concept of sorts, and after going through several versions of it, I ended up with something quite different from the original idea, but anyway, it's almost ready. IN ONE HOUR. Still needs some tweaking, but basically it's done.

This is once in a lifetime. :-)

This be the concept - cover page + a generic page (I know there's 31 days a months at maximum, the number I have is just to have the whole range of possible months covered):

Cover page:



Month page:



As you can see, no scrapbooking this time, I wanted something very clean and no-frill for a change. :-)

It's Caviar Dreams. It was like the first sleek font I clicked at and it turned out to be perfect.

Caviar Dreams is one of my favorite fonts! Love the clean look Adrianka and the sketched effect on the front page is really cool!

Fabulous work girlie! I think you need the gold star award for creating a calender in an hour...that is amazing!

Thank you, girls. I was kind of amazed how quickly it went. I had a kind of concept in my head since January, but concepts tend to change once I open PS and try them out for real (this one definitely changed a bit, too). I've narrowed my choice of pictures to 20 which makes things easier as well, so I hope very much that this year I might finally NOT do my calendar in the last minute.

Gorgeous! -- and in one hour is amazing.
