Update 11/3/08

The gallery, located here - http://shoandgo.com/gallery2/rx7_club_calendar - has been updated with the current submitted cars.

I am waiting for Mr. Aull's email with correct files as the one email I had received had broken images. They were stunning pictures, too!

Tomorrow a call goes to the print shop for a quote, time and layout chat.

I received your pictures and they should work fine. I'll see if October will be fine.

Stu -

Thanks for uploading it to my server. It seems to have fixed the problem!

DJ55 -

Is your name Sam? If so, they are edited out and uploaded!

Still checking more print shops. One I checked out wanted $1400 for 50 calendars!!

I have a new quote coming monday, so I should be able to get a shipping price for you then.

Update: 11/8/08

I am starting the ROUGH design, but would like feedback from anyone.

Here are two TESTS with what I have.




Should I put information under the picture like in the first one? "1984 RX-7 GS"? Should I put the Member Name or Username? Should I include a list of modifications?

Let me know what YOU, the potential BUYER, wants as for information on the calendar.

Also, let me know about the cover, inside cover, page below inside cover, and outside back cover!

I think it would be nice to have a short description of the car submitted by the owner. for instance, on mine I would put something about it being a one owner or some such thing.

Just for information, if my car makes it I plan on buying several if the price is not too outrageous...I think they'd make good gifts!

Update: 11/9/08

The pictures (as of today, if more are submitted I will review them) have been for the most part chosen.

There are 2 that I would like to swap out if I receive any that are of higher resolution. Can the owners of these images (Month August and November) please contact me? I will try and send out an email early in the morning to see if you have these in a higher resolution or size.

MEMBERS WHOSE CARS WERE CHOSEN, PLEASE CONTACT ME ASAP! I chose these based on quality, size of picture, resolution and shots that would fill a calendar nicely. For the people's whose cars I didn't choose; nothing against you, or your car. They are all damn nice, but the pictures are too small! August's image is pushing it and may be removed.

April's image; please contact me ASAP about the watermark on your picture.
August's image; Do you have a higher resolution or size?
November's image; Do you have a higher res or size?

Download the PDF (version 1) of the calendar here; http://shoandgo.com/rx7/calendar/rx7cal1.pdf
Mac's; Preview or Acrobat works fine.
Windows; Download Acrobat from adobe.com

Looks good. May I make a suggestion?

On the front cover of the calendar, I think it would look good to have the image below with "2009 First Generation Mazda Rx-7 Calender" or something to that effect overlaid on it on the top right side. All calendars need covers, and you don't have one yet.

^ I second that. I love the picture of the rotor and rotor housing in with that clip of the car and the clear RX-7 Badge.

Sounds like a plan. I will play with the design a little later tonight. I just got a new computer desk so now I have to pack and clean. Perfect time to go through the junk I have collected in the past few months.

Plus, I found 20 bucks!

Cover Test, version 1.



The back cover may have a preview of all months, like most calendars. Should it be something else?

Looking good. I like the idea of the back cover being a preview as well. For each month, it may look clean if you keep it simple with say 1985 GS Sunbeam Silver and then the owner's name. A big mod list may distract from the calendar too much.
