2012 Mazdas247 MOTM Calendar "prep" thread

[Jackelope]

I figured I'd start a thread to collection information. I'll try to make this calendar happen one way or another


I'm gonna use this thread as a checklist of anything I need (for starters, pictures and info)

I need all the current winners to email me the following information:
username (and let me know if you want this on the calendar)
real name (and let me know if you want this on the calendar) < - decided to leave this off
model + year
picture**

email this to barry@bdtgfx.com (or PM me and I can setup an account to upload the pictures to my FTP site)

**pictures need to be a high-quality 300 dpi resolution, 8 bit, CMYK image (.jpg or .tiff)

I'm thinking something like this:

Nice Barry....missed having this last year. Any idea on turnaround time once the December MOTM winner is announced? It would be nice to have it in hand by the end of Jan.

 

[WillD]

Looks pretty good to me.

What about removing the "Mazda of the Month" text and just having the month and year?

 

[Jackelope]

who uses Calendar's in January?

*if* things go smoothly, I'll have everything ready to go, just plop in the December's info and get the ball rolling!

Looks pretty good to me.

What about removing the "Mazda of the Month" text and just having the month and year?

I'll end up having to just *pick* a final layout, everyone will want something different.. lol

I do think it looks better w/o the mazda of the month.. but.. maybe i'll fit that in elsewhere

or..

When you have two kids who dance and do sports and have been going to PT three days a week for what seems forever (hopefully I will be done with that way before Jan. though) you need something other than a post it to write on.

Like Will, I like it without the MOTM designation....looks cleaner to me.

 

[Jackelope]

people might ask why you have a 2011 calendar lol

I have 3 kids
1) playing basketball / in the band (6th grade)
2) playing basketball (5th)
3) dance / cheerleading (pre-k)

The smaller MOTM text looks better if you insist on keeping it

i like the the smaller MOTM text better than the other two.

Lookin' good! You could have "Mazda of the Month" only on the cover and just the month at the bottom there for each month...Happy to see the "MAZDAS247.com" logo is nicely sized and prominently placed! (2thumbs)

 

[Jackelope]

I've been playing around some with the formatting.

 

[Jackelope]

guess i should get moving on this now that I'm back...

*bumpage*

 

[WillD]

Yep, running out of time it'll be January before we know it!

 

[Jackelope]

i'll be setting up the ftp site this weekend / contacting all the winners so I can get actual pictures!
