Season calendar strip

The year as one strip of twelve month cells, each naming the work that suits it: winter months inverted, the nesting months marked with a heavy top rule, autumn months set apart, and a three-part key beneath saying why.

A heading, a line and a landscape photograph sit above. The strip runs twelve across on a wide screen and reflows by quarter, two quarters on a tablet and one on a phone, never scrolling sideways.

The signature moment

The year is one strip, and the seasons are painted into it

Twelve cells in a row, the winter months inverted, the nesting months from March to August under a heavy top rule, autumn set apart, and a key under the strip that says why each season suits its work. The strip is four quarters, each a fixed three-month grid inside a grid of quarters from a 17rem minimum: twelve across on a wide screen, six on a tablet, three on a phone, so it reflows and never scrolls sideways.

Design rationaleComposition, intent and nearest alternatives

Overview

A year planner for an outdoor trade: twelve month cells in one strip, each naming the work that suits it, coded by season so the customer sees at a glance when to book. It sits in the timeline section beside availability-calendar (open and booked months for a diary) and timeline-strip (a history in one sweep): here the months are the same every year and the coding is the reason.

Theme behaviourInheritance, fixed decisions and contrast

What it inherits from your theme

  • Typeface. The base states no font family.
  • Palette. Your base ground and contrast type. Winter cells invert to contrast with base type; nesting cells take a 6px contrast top rule in a role-rule frame; autumn cells a dashed role-rule frame. The key repeats each treatment as a swatch. The survey button is your theme's button with a stated padding; the call link is on role-link.

What it decides for itself

  • The heading. A bare clamp, about 34px on a phone.
  • The month cells. A 8.5rem minimum height so the strip reads as one band.
