Why I Made My Color Choices
I decided to use colors in my calendar that complimented the pictures used on that month and the season. For October I decided to use different shades of green and brown because those colors bring out images of fall. I used the picture of the white dogs kissing against a green background because I felt that was a great contrast to the white background and the colors of the words. I took colors from the picture and added it to my swatches palette to use.
I decided to use brown, green, and burgundy for November because of the season and those colors complimented the picture of the dogs I used. The picture reminded me of cozy fall days which I felt was perfect for this month. As with October I took colors from the picture and added them to my swatches palette.
December was completely different because of the Christmas holiday. The colors most associated with Christmas are red and green so that’s why I made that choice. I felt highlighting the holidays in all the calendars was a nice touch overall.
Space: I decided to try to use all the space on the page to the best of my ability. I utilized lines, word spacing, and size to make sure I didn’t have any dead space. By making the month bigger and a different font than the year I used space and bought attention to the date. I decided to use bold italics for fun facts to change it up a bit and use my space properly.
