Mondays can be tough, but with a bit of inspiration and creativity, you can add a touch of motivation to your workspace. In this blog post, we’ll show you how to create a unique desktop calendar that not only features your favourite photos but also includes uplifting quotes or sayings to brighten up your day, every day. So, whether you want to create a calendar for yourself or as a gift, let’s get started!
1. Selecting Your Photos
Pick your favourite photos to represent each month of the photo calendar. Make sure to pick a stunning shot for your front cover (how about that epic trip of a lifetime?) Before you create a calendar, decide on the layout, so you know which special photo will represent each month.
If you’re creating a calendar for yourself, select photos of family, friends, and adorable pets to bring a smile to your face. If it’s a gift for your travel-loving friend, go for images of far-flung places you’ve visited together and all those unforgettable adventures. And for Grandma’s personalised calendar, make sure to include photos of the kids!
2. Choosing Quotes
Take your pick of favourite sayings, whether they’re from a motivational book, lyrics that get you grooving, or just some feel-good words. Pair those quotes with your photos, and if you’re feeling a bit playful, mix and match them! You can also scour Instagram or Tumblr to include in your personalised calendar.
3. Getting Creative
You get to decide where your calendar journey begins – do you want to kick it off in January, or perhaps make a start in the middle of the year? Customise your calendar to match your unique style, including the theme and background colour. You can opt for the timeless elegance of classic white or black backgrounds, or go all out with vibrant colours and patterns.
Play around with the photo sizes and placements, and don’t be afraid to try out different fonts, sizes, and colours for a one-of-a-kind, personalised touch!
Finalising Your Calendar
Once your photo calendar is complete, simply add to cart and wait to see the finished product. With a motivational calendar on your desk or on the wall, you have a daily reminder to stay focused, inspired, and motivated to reach your goals and achieve many amazing things. Happy creating!
