五金行日曆「庚子金鼠年 2020」

在五金行日曆出現以前，日曆宛若生活指南，上頭寫著日期，列下每日的宜與忌，提醒今天剛好初一或十五。一天撕下一張紙，儀式般的卸去昨日，換上新裝，化無形於有形。雖然我們無法改變過去，卻擁有重新面對每一天的能力。

​

■ 不添加多餘的設計｜排版與印刷規整

​

在 18.4 x 12.3 cm 版面中，時間日期依然是主角。為了提高小開本尺寸的易讀性與可視性，我們第三度調整使用的字體，使字骨筆劃遠觀更加清晰，也更嚴格規整版面格線，大幅度統一閱讀視線。並且在印刷上維持「撕線」的設計，讓每一本五金行日曆都可以撕好撕滿。

​

■ 366 天祝福｜色彩啟發與插畫繪製

​

裝填進這個日曆容器中的，是全新配色與更多的插畫詮釋。在夜市閃爍的霓虹紫、盥洗台上的牙膏粉綠、年節餐桌上的烏魚子紅、每天追著跑的垃圾車黃，這些來自生活中的色彩啟發，如同基因符碼般經過拆解排序，安置於每個年度，每個月份，就如同每個我們習以為常但用盡全力過好的日子。

​

The Calendar Project by Five Metal Shop is an experiment to see how an almost obsolete object with a quiet cultural significance might be brought back and made relevant again in a modern context by using modern printing, papers, illustrations and design.

​

For the 2020 Calendar, FMS team rethought the design trying to resonate with the old calendar typology. chose a color palette inspired by Taiwan local surroundings and objects such as neon green and pink often seen on Taiwanese puppet-show stage put on around local temples, the purple shade we often remember on grandma’s shirts, and the blue pick-up truck in almost every merchant households and factories.

​

The typefaces were carefully tweaked to remind people of the traditional calendar and modified to fit today’s requirements. The dates of the lunar calendar and 24 solar terms have been kept because they were the most important factors that our grandfathers traditionally referred to everyday.

​■.Gift: As you can see the attached images, we designed two kinds of keychain as gifts for 2020: cool as ice cream / hello, superstar : ). You can allocate different kinds by yourself.
