Subject: Call for Photos for a VW Bus/Van/Eurovan 2005 Calendar - version 2
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Volks,
Based on your inputs from yesterdays post I have made a couple of
changes.
I'll make the calendar available in two versions.
A free PDF download for folks that want to do their own printing.
A professionally printed high quality calendar "At Cost" for those that
want something nicer.
In a few days I'll put the photos on my server so that you can see
what's being submitted
Note some of the photos being submited don't meet the "Minimum Size &
Resolution Requirements" and unfortunately can't be used.
The Calendar Publisher prints the photos at a 11"x8.5" size.
This means that anything less than a 1028 x 764 image will be stretched
too far and the quality will suffer too much.
Please take a moment and read thru the,
Guidelines for photo submissions:
http://www.roadhaus.com/Calendar%20Image%20Info.html
Remember .. The larger the size and resolution .. The better quality the
photos will be.
Photo Requirments:
Size: 1024x768 minimum ... 3300x2550 or larger even better (send the
largest you have)
Orientation: Landscape .... no Portrait Orientation please!!!
Resolution: 300DPI (preferred); minimum acceptable is 150DPI File
format: TIF, RAW, BMP, GIF, or JPEG formats (others may be ok, please
inquire) Color set: CMYK the best, RGB ok (if you don't know what this
means, don't worry)
Compression: Please use the least amount of compression or no
compression at all.
Please include the following information about your image submission:
Your Name
Vehicle Name / if any
Vehicle Model & Year
Location of Photo
Date of Photo
Comments
We are getting some great pictures!
If this works out well, I may do a few specialty calendars like Syncros,
Air Cooled, Eurovans etc.
Your inputs are most welcome.

Original Calendar Post
With your help, I'd like to take the lead on putting
together a "High Quality" VW Bus/Van Calendar for 2005.
I'll gather the best digital photos from list members
and have everyone vote on the Best "13".
Any VW Truck, Van, Bus or Eurovan is eligible for
consideration.
I'll host the photos on my server so that everyone can
see the submissions and vote for their favorites.
The 13 photos with the most votes will be published into
a High Quality 2005 calendar that can be avaiable to all
"List Members" at Cost.
Estimated to be $10-$12.00 per unit.
Calendar Description:
Photos on the calendar will be full page at 11" X 8.5" Coil-bound
60-pound white interior paper Full-color (CMYK) interior ink 100 pound
white exterior paper Full-color (CMYK) exterior
Here's a quick mock up of what the Calendar would look like.
