Speaking from Experience - Calendar Design

 

I created this gradient as a point to start. I am trying to use more colour in my work as I havnt experimented with colour that much this year.  I was trying to create a gradient with colours which fit the seasons and weather of the year.

 

I made this white box template in Illustrator and used it as a guide for my dates. Working across two programs. I don't know whether this is good practice but it makes in easier for me.

 

 

Here is my gradient from the gradient tool option.

  

This is the final ready for the crit. hopefully it goes well.
