This year at a glance features 12 months, January 2018 through December 2018, in a calendar format. Further, the weekdays are in black print and are highlighted in orange. Then, the months are horizontally in black cursive lettering. Lastly, "2018 at a glance" is at the top of the page in a black print font.

Task tracking includes 12 months and has a space to write in the task, check off the task for each month, and then notes for each task. The header is in an orange minimal cursive font.

This page includes a column for the expense, the amount, the due date, a space to note auto payment, and an area to make notes for each month. Then, the header is a bold black.

Password Tracker:

This tracker is for tracking passwords. Columns involved include website, username, and password in cursive. The main header is in black minimal cursive as well.

Ellen requested seasonal bucket lists. Each one took on a unique design. The spring bucket list features flowers and a flowy cursive header.

At the bottom of the summer bucket list there is sand and a beach umbrella. In the top right corner, there is a bright yellow sun. The header is a mix of free minimal cursive and regular print.

Winter Bucket List:

The header of the winter bucket list is in a calligraphy cursive using a metallic blue. Then, hanging from the header is blue snowflakes made to represent winter decorations.

For each monthly layout, I used a simple grid calendar. Then, the header is an orange calligraphy cursive lettering. Additionally, the header is vertically down the right side.

The fitness tracker includes 4 tracking categories: cardio, strength, yoga, and core. The main header is a mix of fonts and colors. The category headers are orange cursive and all other writing is in black print.

The weekly layouts include seven rows, four on the left page and three on the right. The main header is a bold black print. Then, the number indicating the date is a very bold black and the day of the week is an orange-gold blend in cursive. Finallly, in the bottom left, there is a monthly overview.
