Assignment two -- Part 1

General Idea of My Calendar

Hellow...This is my second assignment for computer graphics 1 subject. For my second assignment, I have to create a calendar based on a festive season like Christmas, Chinese New Year, Hari Raya, Deepavali and so on. In other words, I have to create a calendar based on the month the festival fall into. So, i will chose Halloween and that season will be in 31 October.

Then, our lecturer had list down a number of calendar that we have to choose as a reference for us to create a new calendar. I must choose one design for one month only.


This is a number of calendar that we have to choose(only one). And I have decided to choose this calendar/design as a main reference.

I need to follow this design as well as the layout. I can change the objects but the positioning as well as the layout must remain the same.

After this, as usual, I need to post my assignment. Then, I will draw it using Adobe Illustrator CS3 . Before that, I must write a description and statement about Halloween.


A statment about Halloween

Halloween is a a holiday of costumes, pumpkins, witches, ghosts, haunted houses and trick-or-treating. The history of Halloween can be traced back 2,000 years. It was during these ancient times in Europe that the Celts celebrated the beginning of winter on the evening of October 31st. November 1st was the first day of their new year and it also marked the first day of winter. They believed that death was strongly linked to the long and bitter winter. The Celts thought that during the winter the dead and the living existed simultaneously because it was on this day that the dead roamed the earth. Samhain was the name they gave to their celebration of the dead on the evening of October 31st.

However, when Christians began to gain authority in the 800s, the history of Halloween was forever changed; November 1st became known as All Saints Day or All-Hallows. It is believed that the Christians slightly altered the holiday into a church related celebration, honoring deceased saints. Not unlike Celtic tradition though, the Christians too honored the dead on this day. The evening of October 31st soon became known as All-Hallows Eve and was eventually changed to Halloween.

So, i think this celebrate is funny and this celebrate is rare.
