Process1.1

The first concept I came up with was, good days to die, meaning, days in the Hijri calendar in which people who die are considered good (not necessarily though). Like, dying in the last ten days of Ramadan. I wasn't so sure if it made sense to some people! we don't know when we'll die and I didn't really need to get deep into religion SO I changed my concept completely.
The second concept I came up with is making a detailed calendar for precise people. I have always wanted to get a VERY VERY detailed calendar.
Why do calendars have to be in months, weeks and hours only? why not have a calendar that include every second of every minute of the year? WHY NOT?
For my research, I thought of looking at different calendars around my house and ask myself:
How are they organized? How did they work the typograhy? What's bold? What's underlined? Why those lines? Why all those colors? Are the calendars detailed enough? Is there enough space for the user to write plans? to do-lists? goals? I wanted to be inspired and figure all that by looking at real examples around me.
Here is some of the things I found around my house! It might inspire you guys as well! :D
excuse my REALLY OLD scanner! -_-;;
