Let's do this again! A good bit of work to put the 2006 version, and less than 10 were actually bought. However, it was a blast to create and I know those that ordered were quite pleased! I will use this thread for submissions for next year's calendar. The goal is to have it ready well in time for x-mass shopping. The calendars are 12 months at 8.5 x 11 image size. Depending on the amount of photos submitted i will offer one calendar or perhaps two versions. The months will be either one car or multiple cars on the same month. I expect each month to not be a carbon copy layout of the others, i.e., different fonts, colors and themes will be used to compliment the photos. Requirements: The ideal image format is 2300 pixels wide by 1800 pixels tall (landscape, not portrait) I will attempt to work with smaller size/lower res images but I'm not making any promises Active WRXatlanta forum member - others need not apply, this is for us, not wayward transients I took a lot of time developing a balanced calendar for 2006 versions. Even though you may love the pic you submitted I may not be able to work it into the format...(hint: be creative! ) Submission: Photo(s) of your car (no girls hanging their boobs over the hood either) More than one photo of your car in different areas or angles is better - don't worry about my email bandwidth Your member name = fourm name and 1st name & last name Location or event relating to the photos A quote from you for the image in case there is space Anything creative you'd like to share about the photo or preference as to primary and secondary selections If you're thinking "collage" then submit creative photos of your ride and what makes it unique or special Submit your photos to "alex (at) wrxatlanta (dot) com" with the subject line "2007 WRXatlanta Calendar". PLEASE don't submit photos if you have not read this entire message. SUBMISSION END DATE = November 1, 2006 I will not own your photos, as well as I will not release them after they have been developed properly for the calendar. You will not be compensated monitarily for your photo submissions. I plan to do a test calendar with submissions once i get 6-8 good photos. i need to have a good look at the quality of the calendar before deciding on the final designs for the pages. For reference, the thread on the 2006 Member's Rides Calendars.
How about getting people to send thier pics with thier B-Day. We can make a collage for each month with the people whos B-Day is that month. I think last time I suggested to set up photoshoots with the people that had the same month, but that was too much work.
alex, let me know if can you out in any way. i'm going to do the freelance thing at the end of the week. so i might have more free time to chip in. we can do A LOT in photoshop.
I'll try to get some good shots of Luna before the deadline (I took a few today; they're in my gallery) and submit them, and will certainly buy one when it's finished. I never can find calendars in the stores that I like.. ><
Just had a nice photoshoot yesterday for the magazine. Once I get the final pics from my photographer I'll send you some.
Alex you want some of mine? Want just Subie pics or would you like the Radicals trio with the NSX? I have the photo shoot pics for the magazine with the old graphics and I have the new look....lol take your pick.
Welp, now I know what I am going to do with tomorrow morning. Hopefully it will be bright enough to get some good shots of the city in the background as the sun rises.
Preferrably subaru, but whatever you feel like represents you Delette I will pull together the submissions toward the end of Sept / early Oct and more than likely run a poll for the top 12. This is, of course, assuming there have been more than 12 submissions.
Suggestion. Instead of a collage for birthdays, Everybody sends you a pic and of their birthday, that way you can add those pics onto the actual square blocks that make up the dates on the calender? Just a suggestion.
Actually yes, I dropped it. Based on the lack of pictures received and the fact that last years sold 3 copies We'll work something out soon I hope.
