Assignment 2 is the task that I need to create a calendar based on a festive season like Christmas, Chinese New Year, Hari Raya, Deepavali and so on. In other words, I need to create a calendar based on the month the festival fall into. I choose Hari Raya Festival as my design for assignment 2.
Celebrated by the Muslims signifies the end of the fasting season of Ramadan for a month. The celebration is determined by sighting of the new moon. This is the most significant celebration for the Muslims. Muslims starts the day by congregating in the mosques early in the morning to perform Hari Raya Puasa prayers followed by visits to the graves of the departed.
This festive occasion is greeted with great joy, the young will ask for forgiveness from their elders and everyone will put on new clothes. Open house or invitation for relatives and friends to come to their house is practised. Plenty of traditional Malay delicacies are served during this festive season. Houses are thoroughly cleaned and decorated with the lighting of oil lamps to welcome the angels which is believed to be visiting the earth during the seven days preceding the festivall. The celebration lasts for a month which the celebration is concentrated in the first three days.
IDEA
The idea for this calendar actually come from this picture. Ramadhan and Hari Raya is related each other so I use this design as my layout for my new design for assignment 2. Then the next picture i use as element to create the day in month. I combine all the element into one design.

The statement that come up is "Celebrating In Peace And Happiness". The word in Peace and Happiness can be related with Muslims starts the day by congregating in the mosques early in the morning to perform Hari Raya prayers and they greeted with great joy, the young will ask for forgiveness from their elders and everyone will put on new clothes. Open house or invitation for relatives and frieds to come to their house is practised.
I don't see the calendar elements. Your work is more like a greeting card. You'll have to include the calendar features in your work.
