circal

Your year,
drawn as a circle.

An image that says more about a family, a team or a season than a calendar ever does.

The dates that matter — birthdays, milestones, terms, time off — set around a single ring, on your own photograph.

  1. 01

    Pick a type

    Birthdays, milestones, a school year, a team's season, leave. The type decides what the ring is made of.

  2. 02

    Add your year

    Dates, names and faces go on as marks. Your own photograph goes behind them, and everything on the sheet is yours to restyle.

  3. 03

    Print it

    Export an A1 PDF — vector, so the type stays sharp at any size — and send it to a printer.

One way of creating, eight kinds of cycles.

A circal is built from a circal type — the type decides what goes on the ring and what the studio asks you for.

A framed milestone circal on a wall beside an armchair

A wide family birthday circal hanging above a sofa
Birthday circala household's year, set on the house itself

Every date in its place.

Up close, a circal is a year's worth of content and not a decoration. The ring carries terms and exams, or who is away and for how long, laid out so a glance answers the question.

A school calendar circal: four coloured term wedges around a stone-textured sheet

A leave schedule circal: named bands arcing across the top half of the year
Leave circala team's time off, name by name, on a half ring

The ring can be a whole year or a half year, the months can be drawn as wedges with simple dividers, and every colour, face and photograph on the sheet is set in the studio.

Make one.

Start from a template, swap in your own photograph, add your people or your dates, and export it ready for the printer.
