FW calendar? + shameless plug: cyanotype calendar
« on: September 21, 2010, 04:38:40 PM »
I made a cute little cyanotype calendar (safe for work)  which I'm very proud of ;D
http://www.lulu.com/product/calendar/cyanotypes/12573416

I'm pretty impressed with the printing quality. It's not fine art but it's good enough for a calendar that's most likely going to be viewed from 1-2 ft away at the closest.

Also... do we want to make another filmwasters calendar? I wouldn't mind putting it together but someone else can pick the images. I think I have a good grip of lulu's printing/software now anyway. They're about £8.25 with no profit margin which is wot the FW 2011 calendar would be I guess?

Only problem is it takes 7-8 calendar days for it to be printed/sent/arrived here so we'd have to get our acts together on it in time for Christmas. Not many weeks left y'know ;)

ooh shiny things!

They make an excellent subject for a calendar... I really like the way you have kept lots of white space around the images.

Heather, this is a fine idea & thanks for volunteering to put it together. Damion tried to sort one out last year, but his job working for The Man got in the way....and so we didn't get it finished in time.

I'll contact you offline about the details and once we've got them agreed we'll set up a separate post here to let everyone know what the process is for submitting images etc. I suggest we use at least 2 vendors in different parts of the world so that as many people as possible get to pay local shipping rather than overseas, but like I said...that's for the details.
