Yearound: A Different Take on Calendars

Yearound was a creative project that reimagined the traditional calendar. Instead of being bound to start on 1st January, Yearound allowed anyone to begin a year on any date they chose. This flexibility was designed for those who wished to set personal goals or milestones that didn’t align with the conventional calendar year.

The concept was simple: a large, customisable poster where people could jot down their plans, goals, or achievements for each day of the upcoming year. It was possible to personalise it by selecting the starting day of the week, the date, and a title that reflected one’s aspirations. A variety of templates gave users the choice of a design that matched their style.

Once crafted, the calendar was sent to a third-party fulfilment service that printed and delivered it to the user’s doorstep, no matter where they were in the world.

The motivation behind Yearound was to provide a personal touch to goal-setting, making it a visual and tangible experience. Although it didn’t gain the traction initially hoped for, there is still a belief in its potential to evolve into something that resonates more with people in the future.

Yearound was a testament to the idea that sometimes, the best way to plan your year is to start on your own terms.
