Tried asking Google but it keeps showing result on how to create a calendar with Excel. I don't want to be told how to create a calendar box using software, I can manage thank you Google!! I only want to know what other people think of the 5 rows vs, 6 rows.
I would rather ask you, fellow photographers, fellow members, on what you think.
When creating a calendar box, I'm talking about a month, and not counting the row with the days (Mon, Tues, etc), so let's focus on the rows with the dates.
Usually a month have roughly four and half weeks. Thus if the 1st day was to start on Monday, you would have four full rows 1-7, 8-14, 15-21, and 22-28, leaving the 5th row to usually have the last 2 or 3 dates depending on 30 or 31 days, thus the bottom row would have 29th, 30th, and 31st.
But sometimes there will be a month when the 1st day starts on a Saturday or Sunday, which would result in the last few days with nowhere to go.
So either we create a 6 row calendar to fit the last dates at the bottom row, or keep the 5 row layout, and usually just put the last dates (ie: 30th and 31st) in the empty cells at the start of the first row. Thus a 5 row calendar looks like...
MON TUE WED THR FRI SAT SUN
30 31 1
Everyone is different, I was wondering what would you feel about this? Do many of you prefer the 5 rows and don't mind 30th and 31st moved up to the start of the row if the 1st was on Sunday? Do many of you prefer a 6 rows, even if it look funny that on most months, the 6th row would usually be empty?
I often don't mind the 30th and 31st being moved to the top row, but, I wonder if there are kind of people who seems to think it looked confusing and prefer 6 rows?
Design-wise, it makes senses to keep the same number or rows on all 12 pages of a calendar, so the layout will look the same. I would not think of 5 rows on most pages, then the next page got 6 rows to allow extra room for 30th and 31st. Design-wise, either 5 rows and move last dates to the top, or 6 rows on all pages.
What are your options or how do you feel about it?
Many thanks.
