I seem to remember calls for photos for last year's calender had been made by this time last year? :confused:
Is there to be a calender for next year? I hope so, Turning over to see which lovely motor was going to adorn my kitchen wall for the next 30 days was often the highlight of my month! (Admittedly, it's not been a great year!)
-
Bump
Does anyone know anything about next year's Calender?
-
No other than there isn't one.

No other than there isn't one.
That's a shame :sad1:
-
Well these things don't just appear.
The guy who did the previous ones Nick doesn't have a Golf and hasn't been around these parts for some time.
-
You can make calendars through iPhoto (http://www.apple.com/ilife/print-products.html#in-year-pictures), or somewhere like Vista Print or Printing.com will print them. Obviously Nick works for a printer so they were a lot cheaper.
I've personally never used a calendar other than the one on my Mac etc, so I've not really got a use for one.
-
Guys i'm a printer, and dont mind helping out. If you wanted to get something put together, lets do it...
I'm going to need photos, will get something put together and see what everyone thinks!
If that is alright with the mods :happy2:

....Careful what you wish for, Ian - Sometimes they do. I just happened to have created this in the last couple of days. I'm not suggesting it's the 2013 Forum Calendar but just sharing it on topic:

Good start RR
Is it a "car calender" or "ladies car calender" or "ladies calender" you guys want...
-
Or a blonde Euro trash munters calendar :grin:

Your portrait could be here instead of GTian's:

^ This calendar design I have posted isn't a format which the forum wants (based on its 2011 and 2012 previous discussions) and so, as I said earlier, it isn't a real suggestion - It's just me (aka RED INK) mucking about in graphic design software.
However, as a last resort if nothing can get decided and printed in time, it would be possible for individual forum members to submit their car photo to me to substitute and then I would email it back for you to print out at whatever size you wanted for yourself. It's not a 'this-is-our-forum-cars' group of 12 though - It's an individual calendar, not a forum calendar but would have the forum logo (unless not wanted).
Scopes is volunteering :drinking: :happy2: - It just needs the tricky/lengthy process of selecting which 12 cars........... :popcornsoda:
-
What about getting a thread started with the cars to be entered for the calender...
Yes this is a late start, but better late than never...
:happy2: :happy2:
Just put a time limit it on it...
-
How does this get organised? As its short notice you could run a tread with a double purpose.....
A) enter your photos for the Calendar
B) Group buy (in a list form, added to and amended by the members as they post their request for GB)
Maybe run the thread for 5-7 days then end the pics being submitted and choose pics to be used, preview calendar, then after 2-3 days close GB, take monies and print calendars and send out. Quite a lot to do IMO in short notice.
Is there going to be a set price on a Calendar (delivered) or would that depend on the number ordered and the tyre of Calendar being made up?
-
Yes I would say a set price, with obviously a donation made to the forum...
I will do my best. To get everything ready and posted at the earliest possible
Keep it as said above ^^^^^^^

@ scopes:
Would it/Could it be the same format as previous years? - To fit a CD jewelcase.

Sub'd
Would something like vista print work out decent value if there are going to be a few ordered?
-

Yes Robin, what ever size suits. We could do two sizes if required.
Cd jewelcase size
+
A4 size, per page.
Top page with car picture on it, bottom page days/month.

Mike i'm not to sure about vista print, i've never been to happy with the quailty then send out...
But whatever you guys would like to do. :happy2:

Do we post pic on this thread

Good idea with those 2 sizes. Should cover most peeps requirements with that.
Layout as you say, similar to the pic posted by Robin of Ian looking chuffed as nuts standing by his car.

....Agreed. Outfits like that are dealing in a mass market and their results can suffer quality as a natural consequence. Also, Mr & Mrs Average either isn't too fussed or doesn't recognise print quality unless it's poor in the extreme.
It's Horses for Courses. The forum calendar doubtless wont win any awards but it does need to be the quality it has been previously.
-
Sub'd....make it happen :happy2:
-
:popcornsoda:
-
I will do my besy guys, my best option would be then to keep it the same as before. Then everyone will be happy i guess!
The pictures would be printed best at high res, does anyone recall how last years were done?
as in size or pixels per inch etc...
If so please post the requirements!
-
Hi mate. Not sure on the picture requirements tex but from memory, last year's thread was done as a poll. Anyone who wanted to, submitted a photo then other forum members voted for the one they liked. Top 12 went into the calendar.
-
Cheers matey, i'm just getting something put together now :happy2:
-
How were these posted last year.
Recorded delivery or just first class post?
-
Oh goody! I'm getting some pics done this week, are you going to start a thread for pictures to be sent to Scopes?
I guess we need to do that with say, a week to give people a chance to get their pics in, and then do a new thread with a poll allowing the top 12 to be voted in?
If you are too busy Scopes, I would be happy to do the threads?
