darren Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 To complement the printed/pdf montly calendar, i had an idea for a simple desktop wallpaper calendar for each month. Here's what i had in mind... [update: i'll keep this post updated with submissions as they come in... because we're not printing this, there can be multiple submissions for each month... you can choose the one you like.] Most of these desktops are available in 1600 x 1200 (standard) and 1800 x 1200 (widescreen) format. Click on a thumbnail to open the image at full size. Save locally and/or right-click to set it as your wallpaper. January (Tom P.) February (duck) March April (darren) May (deezle) June (mixed) July (herbie) August (Duck) September (badgerbob) October (herbie) November (spinner) December (Awesys) Everybody is welcome to post their original photos for consideration, they have to be as big as possible (1024 x 768 or higher) and preferably not cropped or with anything overlaid on the image (i will do all that stuff so they have a consistent look). If you're posting images as submissions, maybe also suggest what month(s) the image could fit. I put the image of my car as April, because i know that's when i took the pics this year. But they could easily go anywhere from March to September. Others will be a little more specific. Unlike a printed calendar, we can have multiple options for any month, so feel free to submit for any month, even if there's already an image there. Quote
Duck Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 Darren, I love the idea of one person taking this on and keeping the fonts etc. all identical. This is what I wanted to do, you have a lot more skill graphically than I do!Here's my submission, preferably for August.-Iain Quote
darren Posted December 21, 2006 Author Posted December 21, 2006 Here's one that I took in July.Hey, Glenn... this is a really nice shot! Do you have a higher-resolution version? 1024 x 768 or higher would be ideal.And can we please keep discussion in this thread to the subject of OUR OWN desktop picture calendars and not the ones we all recently got from smart Canada? Fanx. Quote
mixed Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 this is my favourite pic of my wheels feel free to use.......... pic was taken end of June in Tobermory Quote
darren Posted December 21, 2006 Author Posted December 21, 2006 Cool... thanks, Craig! I've punched up the greens in the photo a bit and added it to the list above.I'm really liking the variety so far... keep 'em coming, people! We're already 1/3 of the way there! Quote
badgerbob Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 Here's a picture I took of my car on it's trip home, going through Banff National Park, at the end of September. Bob Quote
darren Posted December 21, 2006 Author Posted December 21, 2006 Updated! We're now half way there! Quote
herbie Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 Can I submit one for February and/or July (Canada day) and/or October?please let me know how to proceed... Quote
darren Posted December 21, 2006 Author Posted December 21, 2006 Absolutely, Herbie! Just attach the image here. It should be AT LEAST 1024 x 768 for the best results. Quote
herbie Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 My Feb picture of my smart is not pink, so I'll leave that one out for now. Any pink smarts out there? Quote
darren Posted December 22, 2006 Author Posted December 22, 2006 Thanks for your submissions, herbie! The first post in the thread has been updated with the new images. (Big thanks to Cait for her assistance in updating the post!)Keep 'em coming! And don't forget that unlike a printed calendar, IT'S OKAY if we have doubles, triples or quadruples for any given month. It gives everyone more choice for their desktop! Quote
Awesys Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 Since there's only one rear shot, here's one for December: http://www.awesysnet.ca/smarts/santahat/IMG_2286.JPG Quote
darren Posted December 22, 2006 Author Posted December 22, 2006 Okay, the first post has been updated again (thanks, Cait!)... we're only missing March and November!Glenn, can you get me a higher-resolution version of your shot? 640 x 480 won't give the best result. Quote
smart142 Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 I'll have to get my daughter to help me with that! Very limited skills with a computer.. sometimes I even use 4 fingers to type ,but I'm damm good with a 16ga IV and a screwdriver... Quote
spinner Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 Here's my city shot, if everyone is not already sick of it. From November '04. Quote
deezle Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 Looks like the missing November shot, spinner!WTG putting this all together, darren! Quote
Xandria Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 Those are fantastic!!! What a great idea!!! Thanks so much for your hard work!Love them! Quote
TFM Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 Wow, just had time to check these out. Amazing! I'm putting it on my secondard display! Thanks guys! Quote
darren Posted January 15, 2007 Author Posted January 15, 2007 I do have a couple more submissions that i haven't had a chance to process yet. (Laurie unexpectedly had to have her gall bladder removed a week ago, so it's been a bit of a topsy-turvy week.) I'll try to get to them this week so we have a full year's worth of calendars.But don't let that stop anyone from submitting additional images! Multiples are absolutely allowed for any month! Quote
