MENU CALENDAR
haoyang Community Recipe Calendar is an interactive calendar that weaves together food culture, local agriculture, and community participation. Inspired by Taiwan’s traditional markets and street food culture, the design employs high-saturation typography, bold color combinations, and distinctive layout choices to reflect a vibrant, down-to-earth visual language. The calendar’s format draws from the iconic “menu clipboards” commonly seen in local bento shops and stir-fry restaurants—an everyday design object that enhances the sense of familiarity while adding a memorable, culturally rooted touch. Each month features seasonal ingredients, home-style recipes orally shared by community members, and simple cooking steps, transforming lived culinary experiences into visually engaging, practical knowledge. Through this calendar, design becomes more than presentation—it becomes a gentle intervention into cooking, memory, and community life.

《朝陽社區食譜月曆》是一份結合飲食文化、在地農產與社區參與的互動式月曆設計。以台灣傳統市場與小吃文化為靈感,從高彩度字體、撞色排版,到裝幀方式,皆傳遞濃厚的庶民視覺語彙。整體裝幀靈感來自「小吃店菜單夾板」,這種常見於便當店或快炒店的視覺與物件語言,強化了設計的日常感與親切度,也讓月曆在呈現上更具記憶點。內容包含每月當令食材、社區居民口述的家常食譜與簡明的料理流程,將飲食經驗轉化為具視覺張力又可實踐的知識傳遞方式。透過這份曆冊,設計不再只是展示,更是一場關於料理、記憶與社群的溫柔介入。
