update:

calendar is about 40% done.
photoshop skills are returning quickly.

a few more days and it will be available at cafepress.com


it's not as easy as it seems....

kidding.

the cover

Roger, looks GREAT!!!

Couple of tips. Make the title BOLD, and a trick I like to use is give the text an Outer Glow with the following settings.

Blend Mode: Normal
Opacity: 100%
Noise: 0%
Color: whatever you want
Technique: Softer
Spread: 100%
Size: whatever looks good
Contour: Stright line, anti-aliased
Range: 100%
Jitter: 0%

Makes text much more reasonable.

Cool!

That looks cool. I am going to miss this thread when the job is done. Thanks ladies for the great pictures. I will enjoy the calander and all of you.

Good job to all

There's Ms. April again

'bout this one? =-)

Roger, are you only including provocative pictures in the calendar? I guess what I'm asking is whether any of my wrenching pictures submitted on previous pages will be included, or are you holding out for sexier pics?

Jen

to answer your questions. no, yes, and no. =-)

i was hoping for a little of both. B-)))

maybe it's me, but i think i can safely say it's a guy thing.

This was the pic I had in mind. I really like this one. I'm working on the more alluring pictures still.

I like them all. But Jen, your right. This is really working on your car. That's Great! Nice work BTW!

absolutely.

The new title is much more readable. I like the colors as well. Nice job.

I love the idea of the sexy picture up above and a working on the car picture (if available) as a small inset.

That's a nice working shot Jenny.

yep, i'd like to think working on them is a smaller part of the 914 experience.

The wimmens or the carzzzzz?

Oh, and Roger, to make the title pop just a little more, stick a pure white layer between the picture layers and the title layer and set the opacity to about 15-25%. That will fade the pictures a little bit so the title become the focal point and not the hot ladies. Hot ladies are on the inside, the front is all about the title, IMHO.

Hey Roger it looks GREAT!!!!
Did you put my favorite pic of Mrs. "I" for January?

John,

That's right! Thanks for the reminder... LOL

Done.

I like the newer title better.
But you are covering up the head of the lady in the white one below the title.


Maybe you could crop the bottom left corner picture and bring down the one above it so her head would be visible?

It makes the yellow from the corner of my car really vibrant.

First, i'm waiting until a year's worth of pics are collected, then i'll put the calendars up starting with whatever month is next.  Maybe do an 18 month calendar if things pick up. ~People thinking about it or needing a few skin shots to compliment their non-skin shots...~ jenny Jes/Tony Meredith/Noah   Perry's girlfriend/wife?

I Agree Woman Wrenching on there cars should definetly be included, if its an 18 month calander A Minimum of 6 should be the Babes Wrenching....

I posted 2 of me wrenching in this thread....if ya need 'em

Lisa

Hi Roger
I know you're working hard on this project but, do you think you make the picture in the center top LARGER. The pictures look to small and the page looks to busy.

Maybe loose the steering wheel in the backround?

Hey Roger,

When you decide which picture you want, send me a PM and I will send you the original 7.1 MP picture. Definitely don't make the calendar using the 800x600 samples I posted. I just don't want to post the big pictures cuz they are HUGE and I don't want people making their own calendars, posters, etc. sorry

My granddaughter, Samantha. Too cute or what???

Hey Howard, she's way too cute for this group and she's got to lose that smiling, friendly attitude if she's going to follow in your footsteps.

OK, back to work now....

Tonight, Brian was nice enough to indulge me in about an hour and a half's worth of picture taking. Roger, I hope you've got some mad photoshop/airbrushing skills. I have a schload of pictures coming your way...

Jen

Jes's pictures will be on their way later today. We are going to the beach at lunch time... Last minute, I know
