قبل از این هم در یانون دیزاین تقویم های متفاوت و مبدعانه دیدیم با هم. موضوع اون پست زمان بود و آیهبودنش و این بار کارکرد ارزشمند تقویم و فرصتی که در اختیار من و توی طراح می ذاره رو مد نظر دارم و امید که تحریکتون کنه به کارهای نو.
تقویم های دیواری و رومیزی شما رو مجبور می کنن لااقل روزی یک بار بهشون نگاه کنین و این فرصت خیلی بزرگیه برای یک هنرمند. این یعنی مخاطب ثابت روزانه! کدوم هنرمندی که در پی دیده شدن کارهاشه بدش میاد مخاطبهای روزانهی ثابت داشته باشه.
شمایی که حتی در سودای دیده شدن نیستی و تنها به ابلاغ حرف خوب هستی هم نمی تونی فرصت به این خوبی رو نادیده بگیری. همه دوستان اهل هنر و ذوق رو دعوت می کنم که لااقل اتود یک تقویم متفاوت رو بزنن. ایده هایی خیلی ساده که گاهی حتی جهان بینی مخاطب رو در طول سال می تونن تحت تاثیر خودشون قرار بدن.
