The project is a 12-month bug calendar that combines art and science in a beautiful and educational format. Inspired by cyanotype printing and monochromatic tattoos, its blue monochromatic scheme gives it a timeless feel. Designed for convenience, the 8.5 x 5.5-inch size and perforated paper make it easy to use. The unique tear-down-the-middle layout allows pages to be repurposed as art prints or postcards. Ideal for offices, classrooms and homes, this functional monthly planner inspires people to learn about and appreciate nature.
