The Kids Planner 2011
Designing a wall calendar for kids
About the project
CLIENT: THE KIDS (SELF)
DATE: 2010-2011
PROJECT BIO: ILLUSTRATION, PRINT, CALENDAR
Kids have their Universe. And sometimes, their Universe juxtaposes the Adult's one. The Adult Universe has its laws (dumb ones, trust me!) and one of them rules that Adults need to organize things. And that includes Time. Time was sequenced by Adults: seconds, minutes, days, weeks and months appeared from the Dark. Four Seasons. Holiday time. School time. Bed time. Play time (well, not enough!). B-day cake (sweet!). The Kids Planner 2011 came to show Adults we, Kids, can play with Time too!
I have designed the Kids Planner 2011 as a personal project by the Fall of 2010. Printed on a glossy 130 gr. 95x65cm paper, the planner planned the life of more than 300 children from all over Romania. They loved the idea, scribbling the days and sticking tags on the important dates.
