Year of the Tiger Calendar

In 2021 I had a great idea for a calendar: since 2022 is the year of the tiger, I decided to illustrate my favorite animal in the place of each of the 12 zodiac signs. Combining the Chinese new year with the signs of our Zodiac was super fun, and I learned a lot about Risograph printing through the process. Illustrating the drawings, creating a successful layout, working through different type treatments, and finally trimming and assembling the calendars informed my decision to pursue a role in print design. Giving them away to my loved ones for the holidays was just a perk!
