As promised, here are some double page spreads from the diary:

Jan month-to-view with typographic quote

Feb month-to-view, with typographic quote and biography

Mar month-to-view

Sample of week-to-view

Information on paper sizes

I also considered different versions of the week-to-view:

The typical horizontal view

An alternative view, square boxes for better use of the space to make drawings, etc. Sort of like post-it notes.

In the end, I chose to design the week-to-view with vertical columns instead, as it was good for planning your day from morning till afternoon/night. Although, it is arguable that the horizontal view is better as it provides better visual aids and makes it easier to find the dates while flicking through the diary. I’m sure if I had spent more time developing it, I would have found a solution to combine both points. To be honest, a possible solution just came to mind, but the project’s done and submitted, so I’m going to leave it at that.
