This project was real fun once I figured out what to do… I'm glad a craft store like Michaels exists because otherwise this would not have come out that great! Button magnets and Scrabble-like wood pieces . You'll be able to see the finished calendar in person at my portfolio review at the end of the year.
These are my beginning ideas on paper…
And here you can see how my idea develops… (note where I crossed out ideas that were not working.)
And my finished Refrigerator Perpetual Calendar!



This was a very cool calendar. It had all the elements of a successful assignment in this class. It was aesthetically pleasing and interactive. It is a fun thing to play with as well, who doesn't like magnets really? The inclusion of images that convey the time of year was a great choice as well. The only thing I might change is to make the days of the week significantly different looking than the numbers, but other than that, its a brilliant calendar.
