    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:
    1. The ideal image format is 2300 pixels wide by 1800 pixels tall (landscape, not portrait)
    2. I will attempt to work with smaller size/lower res images but I'm not making any promises
    3. 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:

    1. Photo(s) of your car (no girls hanging their boobs over the hood either)
    2. More than one photo of your car in different areas or angles is better - don't worry about my email bandwidth
    3. Your member name = fourm name and 1st name & last name
    4. Location or event relating to the photos
    5. A quote from you for the image in case there is space
    6. Anything creative you'd like to share about the photo or preference as to primary and secondary selections
    7. If you're thinking "collage" then submit creative photos of your ride and what makes it unique or special

    Submit your photos to "ascelon (at) gmail (dot) com" with the subject line "2008 WRXatlanta Calendar". PLEASE don't submit photos if you have not read this entire message.

    SUBMISSION END DATE = Monday December 17, 2007

    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 monetarily 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.

    Let's see those photos!

    If I can find a cheaper outlet than cafepress then I will let you know. Cafepress' minimum charge was $15 or $16 iirc.

    I'm in.......... Would like my car to be considered for the calander, but I don't have a camara for fancy pics.. Maybe we should have a meet somewhere scenic and invite one of our inhouse photographers. Somehow I don't think my crappy cell phone pics in front of wal-mart are gonna get me in........
