Title: Mk5GolfGTI.co.uk 2010 Forum Calendar - Suggestions Thread
Post by: SteveP on August 29, 2009, 08:29:09 pm
It's about time we started getting something organised, so I thought I'd start a new thread for everyone to throw their ideas into a pot.

So please let me know what you would like to see as part of the calendar.

We will run a competition to select the cars that will be featured, but some design/format/sizing ideas would be good at this stage  :happy2:

....

micsta's CD case format for 2009 is excellent - Very easy to use. But the graphics should change for 2010 imo.

On the other hand, if it was a larger more conventional calendar size I'd hang it in the kitchen.

:happy2:

I reckon we need rolling shots for all months, preferably tracks and 1/4 mile

Performance stats (BHP, LBFT, 0-60, 1/4 mile etc)

Unique mod feature (smoothed R32 rear, GT2871R :innocent:)

Im not one for spoiling good car pictures with scantily clad ladies (in this instance) either.

Shout if you want any help  :smiley:

CD Case format is cost effective and also easy to work with. Also keep in mind that most people dont have extremely high res cameras and in order to do a large print out (such as a hanging calendar for the kitchen) this is required unless you want a blurry picture.

Also keep in mind that it needs to be packaged in such a way that it wont break whilst being abused by the postal service.

Just a suggestion... You may want to get started with this... Time flies especially when you have to deal with other people, wait on them and try and find a design that everyone is happy with.

I can perhaps... Re-arrange the layout... Change colour schemes and play with a newer style... But you guys need to sort out the pictures... Then I will have then done for you guys and try get them sent out.

Perhaps we can do as we did last time? Guys pay via Paypal to Joe and then he forwards the sum to my account in SA?

Thats assuming Joe doesnt hate me for all the sh*t the last time we did this caused... Although my account is working properly now...lol

Let me know guys and I can have a design by this weekend.

But it was a bit of a disaster, they didnt arrive until end of Feb and everyone thought you had run off with the money as no-one could contact you.  :laugh:

Well I offered.

Use it dont use it but at this rate the same disaster we had last year... Well history WILL repeat itself if you dont get a move on.

Printing companies, postal service, banks...Waiting on people to send the High res versions of the pictures and begging them fo over a month and then just doctoring the downscaled version to make it fit. Waiting for payments and confirming payments... Not to mention getting everyone to actually agree on a design....

These things take time and to be honest... The calendars should have been printed by now already if you expect to get them by December...

I can do a calendar and have it by Jan. Last time was a bugger up cos of me. Everything on my side was wrong.

I know who to call now. And I can replicate it. We just need 12 pictures, 3 extra from events and a front cover pic. I will do the rest.

Its late but I can do it.

Thanks for the offer, my only concern is people haven't been very willing to spend recently so I am not sure you will be able to get enough people interested to make it workable this time  :sad1:

Maybe start a thread to see what level of interest there is  :happy2:
