SE calander?

Has anyone thought about doing one of these? I'm sure we could all manage some arty photos, or even just receommend our favourite piccies from elsewhere (possible copyright infringement there though!), then fire them up here and vote 'em in?

Only reason I mention it is my 2005 Lotus one is destined for the bin, and there aint too many photos on there that I'm proud to show my colleagues!

Might be a bit of work, but would be worth in IMO.

Just shooting the breeze...back to work

Hmmmm.... </ponders>

Would have to sell a few (a lot) to recoup any printing and binding costs...

Some cracking owners photos out there though...

I dunno mate, I've done limited T-shirt runs before, and they've not been too bad tbh. I have a mate that runs a magazine, I could see if he can get discounts or owt.

I figured that if you can get the stickers done, we can surely (fingers crossed)get calenders!

T shirts & stickers are reaasonably cheap for short runs, as there's a lot of folk that do them as gift things...

Now, I dunno about calendars. I know that there are wee corporate promo gift calendars available, but these also feature advertising to cover the cost...

Have a look into it - I can put together any files for print (ad design is part of my job) Would be happy to help, but it's running a bit late!!!

For a second I thought this was along the lines of those old dears what got their jubblies out for their local calander.

Well I'm happy for any of my pics to be used in a calendar.

This is the first place I came across that do them, looks ok for £15. Plus, they say you can start your year when you want so we could just start it from Feb

Got some free customisable calendar templates with Digital Photo magazine last month.... could use them to prepare a cheapy SE calendar that you could print yourself.... or pay me a small fee to print on my shiny new pixma....

Here's one I prepared earlier.....

You can always take a cd into prontoprint type places and get them to print/bind pretty cheaply too iirc.

just a thought....

BFO ding!

that's fabulous - I'm well up for that idea - any way we can get them in the wee cd case (sit on your desk) format? I canny have a wall calander at work due to the lack of walls (open plan, I don't work in a field!)

JPEGs are useful as wallpaper on your puter.

aye sanj - I've been getting grief from the IT bods about having my high res jpegs as a background - plus the work are bringing in a 'desktop policy' where I have to have the firm logo as my background and standard screensaver - need the calander to have a bot of Lotus somewhere..
