We did it! A new calendar 10 years after our last wall calendar that we called urbnCal.
For this calendar we cut up old silkscreened test prints of bicycles and printed the calendar on the other side. Happy to have them together. In that way the project has very small environmental effect.
12 sheets A3
Paper: Reused test prints, Munken Lynx 200 gr
Edition: 50
Printed with Risograph

Vi har zoomat in på stadens siffror: portnummer. I urbnCal får varje datum sin egen bild, en bild av en siffra. jollygoodfellow (Esa och Lisa Tanttu) har cyklat och gått genom olika delar av Stockholm och fotograferat portarnas nummerskyltar. Många portar och bilder har det blivit, året har ju 365 dagar. Urvalet är högst subjektivt.
Väggalmanackan är tryckt i A3-format, ett ark per månad. Häng hela bunten på en spik […]
Nu har vi bestämt oss, UrbnCal kör DIN Mittelschrift. Sitter bokstavligt talat på pränt! Här en stilstudie av kartongpåsarna som fungerar som omslag/emballage.
