Description:
In black ink, the calender year is divided into twelve squares. The calendar pages are unconventionally designed using various formats and sizes for both fonts and numbers. Printed front and back, the images are augmented by text written by the noted designer Wolfgang Weingart, arguing for the visual stimulation of well designed calendars. The title and date appear across top sheet. The verso is a bisected layout of a black block with German text printed in orange on the left and on the right a black and white photographic image of Weingart, his wife and two daughters walking in the country. Superimposed on the image is a black arrow with the word "ich" pointing to the author. The English translation of the text accompanies the image. (See inscriptions field for English translation.) At the lower right is an Order Form for the calendar (see notes field), and at lower left a black stripe.
