A question for the crowd
Sep. 20th, 2009 06:56 pmAs Autumn approcahes, I am designing some calendars for sale.
At present I am planning to have three. One flowers, one animals, and one Galapagos. I toyed with the idea of a landscape/architecture calendar, but am not sure about having too many. I may still do it.
1: The Galapagos calendar is a 16 month calendar, how do you feel about that? (I'm a 12 month calendar sort myself. I'd get to June, the next year, and discover I didn't have any way to keep track of things past that, but there are a lot of them, and I had the devil's own time culling the images down to 16)
2: Should the cover art be the same, or different, from the interior images?
3: How much are you willing to pay? Right now the company I'm looking at using seems to be running in the 20 dollar range, for a 12 month calendar. What you get for that, of course, is 12-16 of my photos, and a way to keep track of the date.
4: I am not planning on having holidays included. If that's something a lot of people are interested in, I can change it.

2. Different cover art would be great - certainly a unique way to present the caledar - a bonus!
3. I would certainly pay $20 for a nice calendar. For me I think $25 would be my upper limit.
4. Although holidays are always nice to have it is not an imperitive for me. I like the idea of phases of the moon. If you can at least have when daylight savings ends and begins, that would be great as I can never keep up with that information.
Please keep us updated on this! I hope it works out.
