(This is our first ever attempt and none of us are in the photo editing profession so it's been a bit of a steep learning curve given the very tight time scales we were working to.)
It's probably worth pointing out that it was never intended for me to get involved with these calendars. Homer and Tigger were under the impression that we would send the photos to the printers and they would turn them into calendars. It was only after we first sent them off that we discovered the quote we had been given was simply to print them, not to turn them into calendars. To do that would cost a lot more and would push the price up to the point it would probably put a lot of people off buying them. So I jumped in with my 10 year old photo editing software and produced the calendar pages, all 12 of them, each photo being resized to fit, each months dates being manually added to the page, resizing them again to add the bleed I forgot about, etc etc. It took many hours and had to be done quickly to get them to the printers in time. I know they are far from perfect, I stated that at the beginning of this thread, so I would welcome any constructive criticism as to how to improve them next time - although after I first read "its rubbish" there very nearly wasn't going to be a next time!

How about some constructive criticism then? so we can make it less rubbish next year?

There will be many changes for next year!

 

Two good pics to look at were jay's and Tom's. ;) But thanks for not putting the goldfish in:d

I am disappointed guys, really am. Can see no pictures of my car anywhere on the calendar! :(

Oh well, make next time I might make an effort & send you a picture of my car :D

 

Thank you all, Mawby, Tigger, Genna all the Club Mods, you are a credit to the Supra scene. Your time & effort is much appreciated. To honour this I will take this to the office tomorrow & put it up on my desk. So then all my colleagues who drive in BMW/Mercedes/Audi's will see how bland their car really is :D

I'd like to say I posted some more today, but this morning I checked the status of a parcel I was expecting any time now and it said;

 

25/11/2009 05:42:00 SWINDON DEPOT The parcel has been received into depot

25/11/2009 07:28:00 SWINDON VAN The parcel has been loaded on to the drivers van

 

So instead of going to the post office at lunch time I stayed at home waiting for the parcel. Having not received it I just checked again...

 

25/11/2009 16:39:00 SWINDON DEPOT The parcel is in the Depot

 

Bastards! So now they'll try and deliver it tomorrow when I'm not here, so then I'll have to re-arrange delivery for Friday which was going to be the next day I was going to wonder into town and post some more calendars.

 

Unless the parcel arrives Friday morning I wont have time to post the next batch of calendars until Saturday.
