Custom-Grid Calendar for Dorozhnye Mashiny
The brief
I designed a 2026 wall calendar for Dorozhnye Mashiny, a company specializing in repairs and spare parts for road-building and mining transport equipment. The defining feature is a calendar grid designed specifically for the company rather than assembled from a ready-made commercial calendar block.
The approach
A large March view forms the center, with spacious cells for notes and dates that are easy to scan. Compact February and April grids sit on the left, while a separate vertical rail on the right displays week numbers. Weekends and holidays are color-coded, and additional calendar markers are integrated without crowding the working area.
The custom layout made it possible to create a purpose-built hierarchy: the current month works as the main planner, adjacent months provide context, and week navigation supports production scheduling. The result is a practical working tool for a service company, not merely a branded souvenir.
Details
The upper section combines a dynamic photograph of construction machinery with the brand’s orange-and-brown graphics. Translucent angular shapes connect the image to the calendar field, while the dark footer groups the company name, address, phone number, and website.
The case shows the calendar in its working environment followed by the complete original layout, allowing the custom grid system to be examined in detail.
