2012 Matrix Calendar

 

It’s a calendar based in Matrix effect. I did it using the nice Matrix Code NFI and Miltown2 fonts. I know it looks a little bit crazy, but believe me it’s a fully working calendar.

You only need to know two basic rules: each column represents a month and each week look like a colour gradient, starting on Monday (the darker). Despite of the characters, they all are random. Each week also has it’s own alpha level, it helps reading and also mimic the Matrix effect.

I was developing code for my “Crisis Calendar” (the simplest calendar ever) when I noticed that my draft files were really close to something similar to the unforgettable Matrix code screen . I spend a little time adapting it so I’m not sure if I will have time enough to  finish my other calendar ideas before the end of year.

2012 Fractal Calendar

In this calendar you can find years from 2012 to 2042 (30 years!), that’s the reason why I called it fractal, but the true is that it isn’t fractal at all so please don’t blame me!.

2011 Binary Calendar

Here we go with the updated version of my creative Binary Calendar. The nice thing of this calendar is that we don’t need different language version and I didn’t take care of the text orientation… the only problem is that you must know how to read a binary number.

Not a big deal for true geeks!.

White background version.


2011 Grass Calendar

It’s time to talk again about calendar design. I hate the conventional calendar and I really think that a calendar must be useful but beautiful at the same time.

This one is based in a grass grow pattern. Each branch represents a month.

The nice thing of this calendar is his generative behavior… I can have an ‘infinite’ variations of the same calendar because each time I click another random version come out with different colors and branch movement. So if you run a business and want to give an unique calendar to each one of your clients it could be a good choice. You know, contact me!.

You can find here English and Spanish versions. If you want another language please post it here or send me an email.

There is also a new white background version.

I will come back with the rest of my creative calendars… and with new ones.
