Back to the main!

I'm a little confused right now because i can't decide between two options for the calendar section; i have pasted the two options side by side to compare them :

click on image for bigger size

The one on the left is visually attractive but a photo wall calendar is supposed to highlight the top picture; on this calendar the calendar section uses a photo too and the calendar board is constrasting too.
The second one was supposed to use tranparency to melt the color and tones and reduce the contrast but is less visually attractive imo. I have used the same brown colors as in the photo, which is a mistake that can be corrected though.

I have in mind to use 12 different background, all taken from the Esquire photoshoot.

I put some blue lightnings effects on the picture

The top photo, background and font color i used are just examples and must be changed of course. However, trying to mach the tone and the picture to the month might restrain the creativity of the picture.
I also used 72 dpi pictures for display on screen but 300 dpi pictures for print are better.

Given that i suggested a A3 format (i.e. 297 width and 420 high), i suggest we use the halp top (i.e. 297 width and 210 high) for the art photo and the half bottom for the calendar section. If the art photo doesn't fit, puting it in a creative frame can be a solution.

Kate Romero/Vistalux photoshoot, too bad most of them are low res and tagged.

Will we just use photoshoots I would like pictures from Camerons dancing (ep 7 s1) to be featured in the calender. Maybe together with the Tyler Shields ballerina shoots

The Tyler Shields shoots are very graphic and perfect for the calendar.

I love this one, except the clouds on bottom right and summerglauwiki text should be removed :

I asked in the chatt widget.

this would work for feb http://photos.summer-glau.com....=-26695

As i said before, trying to mach the tone and the picture to the month might restrain the creativity of the picture.
This picture contains not much art work and is childish in concept and in design; this is exactly what i'm trying to avoid. Please let's avoid "hearts" everywhere and everything related to christmas, this looks much too amateurish, kinda like what housewives make for their children and relatives.

I don't like Futurezone art because it's basically a heavy-worked background image with one or more picture of Summer pasted on it with no particular reason or placement. It does not tell a story or highlight Summer.

You make a terrific work on blending images : Summer original picts are part of the overall picture and not just pasted on a background. This pict says : i'm a robot from the future but an attractive girl at the same time.

pict2
Great work on lightning. This pict says : we see you as an angel and you love us in return.

pict3
Great work on lightning. This pict says : look at me, i'm so cute.

pict4
Good work on transparency. This pict says : i'm a ballerina and a beautiful woman. Good use of Summer's quote from TSCC but bad choice of font (must be calligraphic but more "graphic")

Pict on message #23 of this thread is fantastic but a little bit too sexy for a calendar though (perfect font to use).

These are the best candidates for the calendar imo. I hope you see what i'm looking for and what i'm trying to avoid now.

It would be good to have more than one artist because you have the same kind of images and technics.

why is this always so hard to find participants to wiki project >( >(

I don't believe this!

If the calender is going to get delivered or not prolly depends how professional the printed result looks like.
