I called Jason last night and he wasn't there.

I sent him an email this morning and hopefully we can get him in the calendar.

Keith, I like the thumbnails on the left side, for the same reason jedi stated.

Vipers: for vipers, what would the BW picture with the dirt road behind the car with a couple orange oranges look?

have you tried a colored pic with Black and White thumbnails? (just a thought)

SnowFl8k

keith tried it and I think it looks a little wierd not to mention you really lose the thumbnails...they just kinda blend into the background https://www.rx8club.com/attachment.p...chmentid=66041

SnowFl8k

I would definately replace that thumbnail - looks a little out of place with all of the background and less car - but I would put your other action shot back in. I liked that one the best. Your car is a little bigger and it keeps with the "blue" background theme. The first thumbnail on this sample https://www.rx8club.com/attachment.p...chmentid=66167

geez, who would have thought this would be so difficult...

It will all be worth it in the end though.

Here's two more samples. One, with the Madonalds shot replacing the far right...and a second where I put the original first pic back in, and replace the last shot with Macdonoalds. And another where I have the original first pic, and your other malibu pic.

which do you like better...or do you want the pics in a different order?

Keith,

I'm leaving for Vegas right after work, so I'll communicate everything about my month (August) that I can, so I don't hold up production if you guys get finished before I return on Tuesday.

Thumbnails -
I'll post a pic of the thumbs I like.
I'm not concerned w/ the order of the thumbnails. What ever you think is fine.
Cesarsunset3 for a thumbnail. If you could just crop a little off the top, cause you can see my sleeve.
I like the borders in yellow. Maybe slightly thinner because this will be on full-size page.
Also, the borders makes the difference in thumbnails size/alignment obvious.
If it's too much work to make the thumb size/alignment uniform, I think it's better not to have the border. (You could always put the thumbs in a filmstrip with no borders.)
Definitely don't want the pic of me at AutoX. The one w/ the tape on the front.
If the water pic is too blurry, change it too.

Main pic -
1st choice main pic - "Cesarsunset2" or "Cesarsunset10" (leaning more towards 2). Probably in full color, but I'd like to see it w/ the B&W background, I just don't know how to do that.
The pic is too dark, but I was able to fix it.
If we use this choice, maybe put the thumbs on bottom in a filmstrip to cover the stains in the dirt. Or just photoshop the stains out if you can.

2nd choice main pic - the pic titled "August final Lesper style 1cropped" w/ the B&W background. (post #69 pic #1)

Dates in the calendar -
If it turns out the cost of adding the dates is a one-time fee and it goes on ALL the calendars, I'll pay for up to 20 dates.
I'd like my B-day 8-20-73 on it.
You guys can add any other dates you need.

Fixing the dark pictures -
I don't have the original, but I put together a little tutorial on photoshop for adjusting the pic.
If you already know this, then forget what I wrote, but if not, you may want to try it.
I really want one w/ the magnet/helmet, but if it doesn't look that good in full-size, maybe use them as a thumb.

BTW, my pics looked terrible. No tripod. And my camera is not as good as yours.

I like the 1st and 4th picture

...Continued from post #159.

Comparison of the pics before and after the photoshop adjustments.

Viper - This is hard. I like the first cause it is a nice shot of the seats. I like the first and second cause you can really see your gauges. but the last one gives you more of the orange and blue theme......I don't know. I think I will go with four

I left the office early and took some pictures down in Newport Coast.

I'm thinking of replacing the last 3 thumbnails with some of these.

Opinions?

kwescott

give me a call on my cell (714) 8097602

I like pic number 2 for a thumbnail shot.

kwescott

I like the one with your doors open. To be honest, Pic #3 in your current calendar page is so much like the main picture that i think it could be replaced. I think the third pic you just posted is very similar as well. So, I guess it just depdns on which background you like the best, because the pics themselves are very similar.

kwescott

Interior shot added, definately a great shot to include. However, I like the shot you don't, so I've posted two options here. One with the shot removed like you asked, and another with the other (similar) pic removed. Final decision is up to you, but just wanted you to see. I think the shot with the signage in the background is cool, plus, it was the very first pic snapped of your new paint shop as you drove it back to Pirate City that morning...so it should have sentimental value.

kwescott

Is this closer to a final version? I would like to see a new pic of the intake with the engine cover and no date stamp. Maybe less blurry . I realize that we will be changing the third pic as well, but we should have that pic by tomorrow. With those two changes in mind, is this a final version that you would be happy with, or are you still wanting to change your center pic to something more current?

kwescott

This leaves us with just one month left....Scotty305, Toca? Haven't heard a confirmation for that final slot.

Here's some of my pics of our lambo friend.
I know there is a pic of his intake somewhere, I just got to find it....

kwescott

found it...here's another from the front. Anyone have recent pics without the doors open. I don't want to have four thumbnails with doors up. Maybe a shot of the hood from the front...anyone?

speeddemon32

Keith, the original I have is not blury (under the hood) I dont know why that one is comming out so blury. here is another one I srunk from the original. try this one, if this does not work I will give you the original.

Maybe Lesper can photo shop the date stamp out? My under hood is very dirty right now, so I cant just go out there and take another pic right now.



here is a pic of the wheels I would like used for the "wheel pic"


I would LIKE to get a new main picture with the new wheels, and the new wing. I will try to go take pictures tomorrow after work. (I get off early tomorrow) IF for some reason I do not make the Saturday deadline, then yes we will go with that as the main pic.

Can we see an updated sample for now though?

xrider01

oh crap!

another set of Hiros! lol. what size you get all the way around speed?

speeddemon32

I'm not as rich as you so I went with 18's all the way around. WAY cheaper. I could not get over the price differance between 18's and 19's. same with the tires.

also with my car being lowered I dont think 19's would have fit. the 18's with the offset I got I think would have hit. even these are a little to close for comfort. I would not be suprised if they rub while the suspention is working.

xrider01

well, your car is way lower than mine is, so 18's i guess isn't that bad . gotta check out your wheels still, even though they're the same now

Keith I need the font style you are useing so I can incorporate it into the template. Also what font size? I will post an example when I get through. Dont sleep in too late.

FINAL REQUIREMENTS:
-Background image 200dpi and 8.5"H overall (center image since length is longer then 11")
-Thumbnail Images 200dpi 1.5"H x 2"W

(a samller resolution at a bigger image size will also work if one runs into complications)

Which image (different borders) do you like better?
