2017 Calendar designed in Adobe InDesign CC

Next year, 2017, will mark my tenth year of designing a calendar. It started out as a Christmas gift that I could give to grandparents, using my InDesign skills, creativity, and love of nature photography. Now, friends and family want them too and I have given them to my clients.

This is designed in InDesign CC from scratch. Over the years, I have reworked the design to have larger boxes, a secondary photo, and to use tables instead of linked text boxes for the main calendar dates. I still use linked text boxes for the mini calendars on the sides. I find that's the best way to work with that kind of text in InDesign.
