You created the design for our 2025 calendar and we're hoping to work with you again on the calendar for 2026.
This is the template for the calendar - https://apps.cloudprinter.com/products/product/1488#tab__product-templates
Type: Wall Calendar
Binding: Wire - O
Printing: Double sided (Hero shot on one side and dates on the other.)
Measurement: 11.00 in wide x 8.50 in tall (US)
Orientation: Landscape
Color: Full color
Printing Process: Toner (TNR)
This is what we'd like to begin with for the design:
1. Outside front cover
2. Outside back cover
3. Inside front cover
4. Inside back cover
5. Two example calendar months:
one with 5 weeks (Jan 2026)
one with 6 weeks (Feb 2026)
On the example calendar month, previous and next months calendar boxes should be different than the current calendar month boxes.
The calendar boxes have to be big enough to put the info for the holidays and special days that's in the spreadsheet.
