BlindKidSeeks Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Hi guys... I've just spotted this thread over on JDMST, and thought rather than making an calander every year, that only features a small number of cars, that this might make a suitable replacement. this way we can get a very broad number of cars on the page, from every state, from a load of categories, and keep the printing costs down. Its clean, looks sharp, and would suit back of toilet doors! i'd like to see a show of support for this idea, which could potentially save a lot of hassle for the mods, JiP i'm looking at you here, trying to get a calender sorted, having a selection process for cars etc etc. all you need, * a HIGH res 100% side on shot of your car. If its not Side on, its not accepted. * Must be well lit, No night shoots, or digital enhancements Ideally take a shot on a bight Cloudy Day - Clouds give off diffuse light and cleaner shots, no shadows. discuss.

JiP Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 I'd see issues with posting it. It would have to be folded down into quarters at least (A4) and even then Australia post wont be so gentle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seabiscuit Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 rolled into tubes Jip. The point of the calendar is to celebrate those cars that the owner has put a lot of effort into being presentable to a "Calendar" quality. In my opinion, I believe this is robbing those owners that chance. The pictures look so small that I wouldn't really even be that excited to get my car up on there anyway.

LukeAE71 Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Is that a single cam AE82 sedan I can see towards the bottom of the page?? How JDM is that :dance: :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiP Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Tubes start at $2 each and I'm pretty sure that doesn't include postage. They'll charge for the volume of that tube even tho the calendar wouldn't be using up much space inside it. You'd need to located really small tubes. The smaller the better that way they don't have a chance to charge too much for volume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlindKidSeeks Posted September 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 cool JiP, If anyone wants their car on a poster, let me know. I'll cost it up and get back to you. BKS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How JDM is that :dance: :cool: Not very JDM at all..... considering it was probably an ADM corolla. the whole idea behind JDMST isnt where the car came from, its they way they have been styled.

Davros El Davros Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 I think this is a pretty cool idea - it's something that is in a different direction to the calendar that JIP does a great job of organising. Could be potentially a cool idea to lay all of the submitted cars out in chronological order in terms of manufacture date. It would be great to see the changes in the models from early on to modern day cars. In order to get the printing done as cheaply as possible, you would need to do a run of over 250 (for offset printing), but that would depend on how popular the idea is..

jader Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 I like the idea :dance: The only suggestions i would make are have the cars large enough to fit maybe 4 or 5 across.. would certainly alleviate the problem of not being able to see them. Also it might become change depending on how many side on photos can be collected. I don't know about a yearly thing but i would be interested at least in a one off run if they came in at around $15?? Also, i would rather have a poster dedicated to RWD corollas, i know that probably wont go down well with some people but just my preference.

Vince I agree with Vince, I was stoked to get my car into the calendar, I bought heaps and gave them to my family....I love the variety of cars, and the state pages and now I can't wait until October :dance: I have it up on the wall next to my desk, and I look at it everyday...

Johno Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 I think its a great idea and I would be interested in buying one. I think it would be better to have all the cars in random order across the page. I'm with jader with having about 4-5 cars across the page. We would need at least 50 corolla's. I'm sure that could be organized.. This would only work if there was lots of interest so count me in! I don't think i can contribute with a complete car though :dance: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
