Posted by: bd1308 Jul 5 2005, 02:36 PM
we honestly should do a calender with member's cars in it..... or something.
Posted by: Meredith Jul 5 2005, 03:21 PM
Care to take on the project?
Posted by: tat2dphreak Jul 5 2005, 03:33 PM
I say the calendar should be the female members with 914s... 
I think we talked about that before though.. don't remember why it got shit-canned
Posted by: bd1308 Jul 5 2005, 03:36 PM
yeah i wasnt going to start that convo back up, but i do notice we have some pretty women around here
Posted by: bd1308 Jul 5 2005, 03:38 PM
well okay, i suppose i would need 12 914 pictures and/or 12 member pics......
and then i could compile them into a calender.
it looks sweet...in my head.

Fear not, Mer. I was a "lowly 914 groupie" for many many moons before I finally became an owner. I think I was actually dubbed the official rennlist 914 groupie.

it didn't. it simply never achieved critical mass.
here's the choices: somebody gets to pony up a big chunk of change to get 12-14 high-quality color separations made and then pay a litho house something like $15 each to make a 1000-unit press run. and risk having a shitload of unsold $20 calendars. i don't see a lot of people able *and* willing to take on a $15k initial investment for that approach.
Approach Two: you find someone with a large-format high-quality printer, like a XeroX/TektroniX wax-deposition printer who's willing to do it on a "print-on-demand" basis. that equipment is expensive, as is the high-quality paper, and the "ink" will run you about $2/page. you might be able to find a repro shop like a Kinko's with a sufficiently large printer if you're in a big city, but i bet they'd still cost you $20 a piece to make. add $10 for shipping and you might break even.
great concept, and i'd be glad to contribute some art to the project, but i'm in no position to sponsor it, much less bankroll the whole thing.
if someone can present a financial and production model that doesn't involve someone losing a shitpile of money, speak up here. July is *not* too early to get the ball rolling...

I can't guarantee that he'll do it, but my uncle does this sort of thing for a living.(and he is usually willing to help out a nephew in need!) His work is awesome. I will talk to him and see what it would involve and what the most cost effective way to do it would be. You can check out his work at:

I thought it a good idea before and I think it a good one now! Who was it a few months back that posted someINCREDIBLE pics of his red teener? I believe he was a professional photographer? Maybe he could take some pics at one of the get togethers. Here is one of his pics

If you use CafePress.com services you just need 12 pictures @ 200 dpi and I don't know what the dimensions are but I'm sure they specify that too.

200 dpi?
if they're bigger than postage stamps, watch out for pixelation...
300 dpi used to be my minimum for the newsletter, and those were small pictures...

If it's per inch why does the size of the picture matter?
Posted by: GTeener Jul 5 2005, 06:58 PM
OK, now you made me go look it up 
Their Calendar template specifies 13 pictures (one for a cover I guess)
11.4"W x 9"H (trimmed to 11"x8.5") @ 200 DPI or PPI
2300 pixels W x 1800 pixels H
Certainly wouldn't hurt to have higher resolution pictures but they do have to be uploaded, so file size could be a factor.
"CafePress.com recommends shop owners create their images at 200 DPI to maximize CafePress.com product quality and image upload efficiency. We have run extensive end to end tests on all our products and have found that there is no discernable print quality difference gained by exceeding the 200 DPI recommendation."

OK, on your marks, get set, go!

I would just use pictures of the cars themselves, without girls and such, I've seen lots of calendar worthy pictures posted on various threads.

I thought of doing up my 914 as a calendar deal-but don't have the time.

We have talked about a calendar every year. 
Now is the time. Let's do it.
We need to decide if we want just cars or cars + models.
We can have people submit photos and then vote on the best.
Posted by: bd1308 Jul 6 2005, 06:05 AM
yeah. we should do that. anybody have pics? Meredith, i know you will be able to borrow a car.

| QUOTE (bondo @ Jul 5 2005, 08:28 PM) |
| If it's per inch why does the size of the picture matter? |
because those "extensive end to end tests" that CafePress talks about typically depend on the "optimal viewing distance" being approximately equal to the diagonal size of the image. we tend to look at small images from farther away than that, and larger images rather closer. the closer you look at a lo-res image, the more pixelation and jaggies you will see.
but it's been a few years since i was a professional photographer, and months since i was a newsletter editor, so WTFDIK?
in the final analysis, someone will check out the samples and decide if the quality and value are acceptable. if so, we go, if not, we look for alternatives.
Posted by: bd1308 Jul 6 2005, 06:45 AM
jaggies....is that a technical term?

Posted by: Kerrys914 Jul 6 2005, 07:24 AM
Best of luck guys.
The biggest issue I had when trying to do a calanger was the image sizes. I could only get a handfull of photo's that woul actually look good when printed close to 8x10.
I even tried to add a 1" border to make smaller photos work...Looked cheesy 
I also tried to have 2-4 smaller photos for one month to keep the required photo size down...Took alot of work and I am better with a wrench then Graphics 
There area lot of GREAT phot's out here but they are just too dam small.
BUT..............
If everyone that can takes some high res photo's over the next few months (until Oct) maybe it will be possible. I think I have 2 high res photos from the last (my) calender try.
Cheers

Posted by: Cano Jul 6 2005, 09:48 AM
Since this would be a 914 club calender, I think it is important to accurately represent the true cross section of 914s owned by club members. In other words, roughly half of the photos should illustrate 914s holding down jackstands, or with rotten hell holes and longs, etc. In fact, I nominate my car, as in its current state it would perfectly illustrate one of the cold and dark winter months as it awaits rebirth in the spring. 
Heavy.

Jake I'd rather see a big ole smoky burn out. 
or a blur of 914 scooting through AX cones with a ridiculously low time on the score board. Howabout you do the burn out and I'll post the low time. all with your 3.0L motor 
Posted by: neo914-6 Jul 6 2005, 12:10 PM
Here are some suggestions if we don't limit the calendar to "pin-up" type.
Set a time period ~ 4-6 weeks of submissions, then the garage can all take a week to vote for 12 images. We could even "create" extra months since we need more time to work on our cars.
Any 914 in any state with or without people/person
Any 914 enthusiast
A 914 gathering
914 related humor
An artistic photo
914 art work

Yeah Gwen, like I have TWO non-running 914's I need to finish and design and a meet to organize. I keep telling myself to stay away from the garage to devote more time to them but that never happens...
Plus I'd be too biased and loose all the pics of guys or unmodified 914s and include more art work.
We need a trained graphic artist or digital media guru. I "think" Lyressa has this expertise...or Siverson who managed the digital WCC05 shirt designs.

So when you want us to send you pictures Britt?
Seriously, if the club wants to have a calendar I suggest we try a service like cafepress.com which does not require anyone financially bankrolling the project.
Someone just needs to start a store there (if you want I'll volunteer) and anyone, anytime can order a calendar through them.
It can be priced at their base price which I think is $14.95 and they handle everything but the design work.
If you want me to take the lead send me your pictures:
2300 pixels W x 1800 pixels H @ 200 DPI or PPI
11.4"W x 9"H (trimmed to 11"x8.5")
We'll see how much my email account will handle
If you have many to submit, send them to me on a CD.
Let's say all photo submissions are due by the 1st of August. Then we can take a club vote on the favorite 12.
What say ye

Please - be sure that you don't get burned on this deal like you did with the 914 Girl Hats. BTW - do you have any of them left? If so I would like to buy one. No, I don't have a new girl friend to give it to. I figure I can use it like Cinderella's glass slipper to find the perfect one.

Ha! Actually I didn't get burned on the 914 GURL hats
. I got stuck with a lot of the Got Cones? hats I'm sold out of hats now though. All those hats are now collectables
As for the calendars, like I proposed, all I need are the pictures sent to me. Once we decide on which pictures to use, I'll run them through the cafepress.com service 'custom calendar maker' and whoever wants one can go through them to buy 'em.

You won't be able to sell many with hot guys plus we don't want to destroy the 914 owners image. I think the only way you'll get a "hot guy" included is if you surround him with 10 hot gals...
We'll let the vote decide where the majority of the 914club minds are at.

I think pictures of the guys with their cars is a great idea, as long as it's not under the false pretense that it will be "sexy" .
women can pull off the "sweaty dirty" look and still be sexy, guys just look like homeless mechanics...

Dude! get out of my head! I was just wondering about this project yesterday
I have NOT received any pictures from anyone.
I guess that means no one really wants a 914 calendar

I'll try and get some to you by the end of the weekend.I don't want to be the only one sending in pics,though.Hopefully the others will send some in.
Posted by: MW 914 Jul 19 2005, 12:10 PM
Just as a thought, the calendar doesn't have to be limited to one car per month. You could do a collage for each month of two or three cars. Maybe put pictures from an event in the past on the current month. For instance, for Sept 2006, you could put pics from the Sept 2005 Red Rocks Classic. Just an idea...
Posted by: tat2dphreak Jul 19 2005, 12:23 PM
I can send pics of the last time my car was out of the garage... 2 years ago
I can send pics of a MESSY (dangerous to walk across messy) garage with a 914 and parts...
or, hopefully soon, i can send new pics of the car on he road again!

The pictures do not have to be single-car shots. And individuals aren't limited to one photo submission.
But ya'll do need to start sending 'em (in the proper size & resolution).
2300 pixels W x 1800 pixels H @ 200 DPI or PPI
11.4"W x 9"H (trimmed to 11"x8.5")
If we get more than 13 (one for cover) we'll vote on our favorites.

OK,
I'm guessing that one of our limitations is many of us don't know how to re-size and adjust the resolutions of our pics.

I can also offer to do a little exposure or contrast adjustments.

Too big is OK. I can scale them down.
Too small is not good and I'll email U back telling you so.
Sometimes just starting the process is all that is needed.

Typical screen resolution is only72 dots per inch. Have you tried to print a web picture on a color printer? No to sharp
If you want the pictures in the calendar to print decently you need a big picture file to start with (200 dots per inch).

Set your digital camera to take "Fine" quality JPEG pictures.
Burn the pictures on a CD and mail them to me, or

Adorn or stage the 914(s) in your picture anyway you want, but remember do not send any copyrighted material. The printing company won't allow it.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, if we get enough pictures for multiple theme calendars (car only & car with people) we can consider producing more than one calendar.

I have pictures but not in the format that Gwen needs.
I am reading my cameras owners manual now to see if I can change the DPI settings and such. Only have had the camera for 4 + yrs now , I guess I should look at the manual.

For $19.99 each I think you can set up the calendar file and each person can order and pay Ophoto individually.
I think that this way no one will need to do anything except set up the file and post the link!
I am just trying to make it easier for everyone!

Garold,
Great pics.
The one which was 1 MB was perfect for me to resize. I can tell it was taken with a long lens (zoomed) so not crisp but I think very acceptable. Good work.
When I wonder if ja picture is a high enough quality pic to print blown up, I view it on my PC at approximately the size I am going to print it and then make the call if it's worth printing.
Keeping in mind that, when printed, it will show all of those nagging imperfections.
For example and line that goes at a 45 degree angle but looks close-up as little stairs steps. That's not good. =-)
Cheers.

The pic is borrowed from "Yarin" or someone taking a pic of the car.t. Obviously, reduced for forum, original, more than large enough for print. 3528 x 2040 x 16m 8.0 mb original.

Copyright FREE? All are from ebay and here. Don't know if someone would see their pic or car and get all legal and stuff. Just took a closer look, the Motor trend future 914 is in their and a couple 914 original ad scans.
The mosaic program just pulls pics from a selected folder, matches color and contract and contructs. Its pretty damn fun!

I'd suggest we only submit our own images or with the owners written approval. I highly doubt Mark Stehrenberger would approve use of his drawing without his permission. eBay also has strict image "copyright" rules.

I'm the originator of the mosaic, and I wouldn't mind its use. Now the originator of the original pic could object, or anyone who has a pic they can identify in the mosaic.
As for the pics from ebay, if they sold their cars there, odds are they would never lay eyes on the 914 calendar. Then again, how could one argue a very small portion of the mosaic was theirs?
Again, only true issue is the Motor Trend pic and Porsche ads.
I can try and re generate if people are interested.

Hi Brent,
You know your mosaic's remind me of LeRoy Nieman's paintings.
Very nice work.

Thanks Roger. I love his works as well.
On the mosaic front, John was talking about the "collage" he had put together and submitted, not about my mosaic. Now I don't want the A/X mosaic to be submitted but will submit a couple others that I have used only non-copyright photos.
Anyone out there have a A/X photo (they own or took) I can try and run for a mosaic?

Are you still collecting photos?
I was thinking... Ifen you got 48 you'd have 4 years of calendars. I didn't submit anything. I don't have any hi res photo's.

I said I'd wait for the East Coast BBQ to happen before finalizing things, so i guess the submission deadline has been extended a little for those hankering to submit more.
In many cases I have multiple pcitures of the same car from differnt angles, so not extactly enough for 4 years worth of calendars...unless you don't mind looking at the same car from different angles...

OK. I'll try to be patient
I'm leaving town for 2 weeks at the end of October.

Thanks for doing this Gwen!

I suppose it depends on when people want to buy calendars... I presume for Xmas...
CafePress is very quick on production time. The rest is up to me to post the artwork.
I will be out of town the last 2 weeks of October. And then the winter holidays come rushing upon us.
So let's say October 7th is the photo submission deadline.

Hey Guys & Gals,
I am over here in Santa Cruz for my sisters wedding tomorrow, 9\15.
However,
I did stop at Laguna Seca this morning and
FINALLY
took some pictures (39) of our 914world.com BRICKS.
I'll be back home on Friday and will submit some then, maybe our Bricks could make the calendar, huh?

I did take other pictures, of some of the other Bricks, but those are the pictures of OUR TWO Bricks!
OOPS, the Welcome brick snuck in there.
Posted by: GTeener Sep 15 2005, 03:14 PM
Thanks Scott.
Where are these bricks? You didn't take an on-site 'bearing' shot

Excellent!
Posted by: Scott Carlberg Sep 15 2005, 03:44 PM
a http://photobucket.com/albums/y93/werksracer/914ClubBricks2/ to the other pictures that I took.
Where they're at:
once you get to the Corkscrew, and you were looking at
the track, turn around, the Bricks are in front of the
little Vending station that sells cold beverages.
Here's a funny story......
my dad and I drove into the track on Wed, the roads
that go ALL the way up to the top were locked up,
so we drove up as high as we could,
then, for some DAMN reason, I decided that I would
try
to RUN all the way UP the hill!!!
My dad was quite surprised that I made it as far as
I did, 'bout 3\4 the way up,
but then I ran out of Oxygen! lol
I actually felt light-headed, and walked/stumbled twice,
I had to Bend over a grab my shorts numerous times,
desperately trying to catch my breath!
It took me about 35 minutes to STOP breathing REALLY,
REALLY hard!

Bricks don't rust, do they?!?
Posted by: smrz914 Sep 17 2005, 08:08 PM
So I'm thinking that someone from the SF bay area can order 15+ calenders and distribute them to others (like college students) to save money. Now I know your thinking why don't I do this myself but I have to pay for school so I'm on a budget. So if somone is willing to order a bunch, I'll send a check to you for $10. Let me know. I'll definitly be able to pick it up by mid december after finals, or some weekend when I go home.
Posted by: Lawrence Sep 18 2005, 10:44 AM
So... do we get to see a web page hosting thumbs of the chosen photos?
Oh, and if you do decide to use the picture of the Winter Wonderland Bumblebee, and want to photoshop my dumb ass out of it... I won't be offended at all.

No final choices have been made yet. I said I'd wait for an East Coast BBQ.
But, rest assured the Winter Wonderland Bumblebee will be reserved for December because it is the only 'snow' picture I have

If you have enough good quality shots now, I say go with what you've got. If you need more pictures I have some from the Red Rocks Classic I could send you.

Send me the RRC pix.
I have lots of good solo pix, but it would be nice to include club gathering photos too
BTW- I did get a few Cook Out pix from Kerry H. on Monday. Thanks Kerry!
Posted by: GTeener Oct 7 2005, 01:21 AM
OK Ya'll....
Lots of good pictures.
Amazingly many solo black car photos submitted, but I decided to use only one, no offense to those other gorgeous black teener folks.
I tried to best represent our beloved 914 and club personality.
Hope you like this 1st edition.

Thanks. All I did was provide the artwork. CafePress provides the calendar template and the rest. Hopefully the final product looks as good as the digital product
Thanks again to all those who contributed
. If you photo wasn't used this round don't feel bad. It wasn't because I didn't like it. There just aren't enough months in a year Start snapping & saving for the 2007 edition I noticed that there was a poster-sized calendar template (one page),
maybe I'll try to come up with an alternative calendar that uses all the pictures I received....maybe....

Sorry Jon. I don't stock any product.
I just do the artwork and run it through CafePress.com. They handle the rest. I didn't even mark up the final cost for any of the design work.
My gift to the club

OK I got my two calenders and I even found my car in TWO of the pics...very nice...thank you Gwen. Now, are we guys in the club gonna take up some kind of collection to get "Miss April" to the WCC06 somehow...or what. We have a lot of beautiful women in the club but that picture is soooooo.....Cool Hand Luke....I love it. And who are the lucky ones who own Sept. and Nov. nice...nice....nice.
Posted by: GTeener Nov 1 2005, 03:40 PM
Hi guys. I've been out of the country on vacation for the last 2 weeks. Came back to find my calendar had arrived too. The final results are pleasing
As far as availability goes, as long as I keep it 'available' on my CafePress.com store page, anyone can buy it. Buy whenever and as many as you want. I think they even offer discounts for purchases of 15 or more at one time.
So I promise not to touch it until...when? April?
Posted by: Maltese Falcon Dec 6 2005, 11:22 PM

I just ordered 25 for friends and customers....and proll'y need 25 more !
