A Linear Summer Calendar

Ever since I was a kid and all of summer was a vacation, I've always visualized the summer timeline as a single linear strip. In 1999, using Adobe Illustrator, I designed such a calendar, 4 feet long from June through August. (Parts of May and September can be added if desired.)

Here's a fuzzy idea of what the calendar looks like:

May	June	July	August	September

The printout has a strip for each month. You cut out the strips and tape them together (on the back). Here's a low-resolution image of the sheet you print out and then cut up into strips (2007 version):

The calendar is designed to print on 17" paper (Tabloid size or A3). You can scale it down, but then the boxes get quite small.

If you have Adobe Illustrator, you can edit the PDF file to adapt the calendar for any year by making the approriate layer visible; there is a layer provided for each of the 7 possible calendars.
