Rushing through a daily planner

Preparing signatures for a business diary

I shipped all my custom calender books in time before the end of the year. However, a referral turned up this new order. It's identical to Ross Rucker's design, so a little expedited printing and I'll get it on the bench for sewing.

This shows the 3 different page formats in one style of daily planner

Here are the 3 page formats that make up this planner. From bottom top:

  • At the beginning of the book is spread with the current and next year calendars as at-a-glance blocks
  • Following that are 12 spread, 1 for each month, presenting classic block-per-day calendars
  • The remainder of the books 208 pages are 1/4" graph paper with a column divider line down the center of the page

Now it's time to get this thing sewn.
