Sounds like a plan. If we want to do some edits to the images before getting the calendar ready, let me know and I can do some Photoshop work to make them look a little more presentable and give more depth to the calendar.

For example, under each picture a lower third can be added giving the owners name with information about the Jeep. Also, if Keith allows it, we can add the Jeep Forum logo at the top of the page with the green gradient.

Here is an idea of what I am talking about:

You should definatley include major Jamborees and Jeep events on the calendar, and maybe even trail opening and closing dates! It would be humorous to put the winners JF user name in the block on their birth day

I just wish I had the budget and permission to make mine such a good combination of form and function.

Doesn't mean you can't enter the contest though!

I offer a picture to input into the calendar for humor's sake...




:r ofl:

It's always going down hill, that saves on gas!

i really like the calendar layout you made Cox, you've got my approval

[bebout]

The calendar does look really nice. I'll be buying one for sure.

gotta go with idaho - love the jeep - representing architects (and interns like myself) who don't always have to drive a "green" vehicle haha

Wow that's a great looking calendar.

[spyder6]

i wish Keith would chime in on this thread. id like to be able to set up the calendar so the proceeds go to JF

In regards to the calendar, would they be set up through a website similar to CafePress?

Looking on the CafePress website, a custom wall calendar (11"x17" when hung / each page is 8.5"x11") is $16.99 each.

If the size of the calendar is suitable, then I personally can start editing the images with a similar format that was posted earlier so that when it comes time to compile the poster, all the images are already edited and ready for print.

What are you going to use for January thru June?

[Bennettj13]

Digital, that calendar looks good man. Way to go.

i was planning on using Zazzle or Cafe Press. i personally think that Zazzle is a little bit higher quality but they're both great.

It was a hard choice between idaho-jeep and newracer. I had to go with newracer, just like the rugged mean look of it.
