    Edited by milo:
    order yours today: http://www.cafepress.com/wrxatl.51073380
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    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

    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. 1 month is reserved for a Road Atlanta Group Photo shoot.

    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.

    Submission:
    - Photo(s) of your car (no girls hanging their boobs over the hood either)
    - (edit) 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@wrxatl.com" with the subject line "WRXatl Calendar". PLEASE don't submit photos if you have not read this entire message.


    I do not own your photos but 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 receive 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.

    I will allow submissions from now until January 31, 2006. I would like to have the calendar ready by mid. Feb. If this is the case, I will start the calendar on the next month (March), and will end it 12 months from there respectively.

    Update! I am currently looking for a product studio to test print a calendar for me. More to come soon. :sx:

    If you had a "woops" month mine would qualify for most scrapes, dents and dings, lol
    or maybe I'll just run through some mud and cover everything up

    thats a damn good idea goose..

    sorta alex.. i got some pics from when i first got the car, in my garage next to my old wrangler. ill look them up when i get back into town on thursday, whats sad is when i had that accident i mentioned in another thread, the shop i went too which was highly recommended did a real shoddy job on the rear of the car, so even taking a pic of the debadged trunk, with the exhaust still wouldnt be great. dont buy a wrx when your a poor college student.

    if you email me a hi-res PSD of this pano shot, i can give it a go. i think i can fake that asphalt pretty easily. i have a yahoo! email that allows upto a 10MB file. PM me and i'll give you the address, i you want.

    yeah, i faked the asphault too. The cars are aligned and look fine, I just didn't align the rest of the background. Here what I did: http://i1.tinypic.com/mucshw.jpg but in low quality, if you want me to send you .psd that is unworked PM me.
