What is a rolling calendar?

What calendar/scheduling program might have output this graphic?

  • I've taken over a graphic design project and need to update http://somethingsbegun.com/studioschedule.GIF (just the schedule part, not the kids on rolling globes). But I only have the image, not the original working file. Where did it come from? I inherited an InDesign file from the former designer, but none of the links to graphics, fonts, etc., and nobody I'm working with can access the original files. InDesign tells me that the schedule image file I need to update was named "Calendar — Week — 9:9:13 to 9:15:13.pdf." The filename seems like it would have been created by some calendar program that exported the weekly schedule into a pdf, rather than typed by a human. I want to find out if I can update the schedule in said program (there are only about four or five schedule changes) and re-export it. Unless you think the weekly schedule image was handmade in Photoshop or Excel or ... ? Suggestions? And/or fastest way to recreate it? It doesn't need to look exactly the same but it should display the same info, be no harder to read, and have the same dimensions. Thank you!

    That looks like the iCal/Calendar (OS X) week view if you print to PDF.

Oh, and this is for a printed piece, so I can't just doctor the .gif that I linked to, since that would be too low-res.

Looks simple enough that I'd probably just recreate it in InDesign, especially if you're going to need to update it on a regular basis. Alternatively, is it possible that someone else at the organization who keeps the calendar is using the program that outputs it?

If I'm not mistaken, that's a PDF of an Apple Calendar calendar.

Perfect. I don't have a Mac so never would have known this (and mostly this organization uses Google calendar, so iCal wouldn't have come to mind). Thanks, ask.me!
