Introduction
Malaysia Petroleum Resources Corporation is a government-linked corporation in Malaysia’s oil and gas sector. The organisation engaged Walk Production to design and produce its 2024 corporate desk calendar.
MPRC needed a calendar that reflects the organisation’s mandate and industry positioning while functioning as a useful daily reference for recipients across the energy sector. The calendar was produced as part of a bundled publication project alongside MPRC’s Corporate Report.
Walk Production handled the complete custom calendar project, an integrated approach that let us maintain visual consistency between both publications.
Our Solutions
Concept development with industry focus
The concept was developed to align with MPRC’s role as a catalyst for Malaysia’s oil and gas services and equipment industry. We selected themes that highlight key aspects of the sector across the upstream, midstream and downstream segments, giving each month a distinct focus area within a unified visual narrative.
Stock photography was sourced and retouched to depict the scale of Malaysia’s petroleum sector, with priority given to operational imagery that communicates industry progress and technological capability.
Calendar and graphic design
The corporate desk calendar layout system accommodated both visual storytelling and functional calendar grids. Each spread pairs full-bleed industry photography with clean date layouts, using MPRC’s corporate colour palette to frame each monthly composition.
Graphic elements such as section headers, month identifiers and supplementary text panels were designed to complement the photographic content, with typography selected for readability at desk-calendar viewing distances.
Copywriting and print production
Our corporate copywriting created content for each monthly spread, providing context about featured aspects of Malaysia’s oil and gas industry. The writing strikes a balance between informational value and brevity, appropriate for a calendar format.
Print production covered pre-press preparation, colour proofing and a print run coordinated with the Corporate Report. The finished calendars were then delivered alongside the report to streamline distribution logistics.
The Results
MPRC’s calendar works as both an industry showcase and a practical corporate tool, designed to sit on recipients’ desks as a daily reference through the year.
Bundling the calendar production with the Corporate Report project created efficiencies in design coordination and print logistics for the client.
