Having taught college for many years, I had assigned many projects to both eager and sometimes resistant students. On occasion, they would challenge me to execute the same assignments that I would give to them. This was one of those many examples. The assignment centered around the idea of making systems to communicate with an audience. In this example, I took a series of dots to present as a calendar. Since this is not the standard view of a calendar, the problem is in how to communicate that it even is a calendar without crowding the design. The dots and the color coordination with the text are intended to help the viewer key in on when each set of events occurs.
