Create a 2015 Calendar Image Discussion Only

[barbieq25]

Your brief is to create an image to use as a calendar image for 2015. It could be animals, transportation, photos, typography - anything you like but it MUST have the numbers 2015 in it.

Size is up to you. Whatever size you are comfortable in working with.

Is there a size limit for posting an entry ? (800x600) or is this forum a little more flexible with max size ?

[blackpenny]

The forum is set to resize images to 800 x 600 max, and you can click to see them full size.

So go as big as you like. We're not really picky here.

[sasha]

Thank you for the prompt answer blackpenny. Time to get busy on an entry

[barbieq25]

Yes, Sasha, here if an image is too big it will auto-resize for you.

Screen resolution size might be good if you want to use it as a wallpaper

Do you mean vote until 14 February ?   I am looking at some really good entries so far and I hope to submit one before the end of this coming weekend.

Vote from 31 Jan to 14 Feb

Aren't the entries just fabulous?! Voting is going to be so hard.

I wonder why Pixey chose March??

[Goonfella]

I wonder why I chose May?

[blackpenny]

I can tell you why I did the whole year: too lazy to do something new, so I copied and pasted old stuff. So original!

If I were really ambitious I would do a page for each month. Actually, I do need a 2015 calendar, so I could go someplace and have one made.

[Goonfella]

Mine is mostly new but I did reuse the plant pot which I made previously.

BP, reusing old stuff is not being lazy,its being creative. If an image fits the subject why not use it?

[blackpenny]

Thanks, Goonie. It did take some time to choose the images, resize them, and arrange them in a way I liked.

But I can still be lazy.

[barbieq25]

I used to make my own calendar with Outlook Express. So easy for me to put in recurring events etc & then print it. Darn sight easier than keeping a diary with me

Maybe May is your birthday? It isn't Pixey's

Reusing is not being lazy at all. Totally agree with Goonie here. There are some elements I reuse over & over. Da Vinci used sunflowers a lot but he didn't have the option of saving & reusing

BP, I remember some of those images & it is great to see them again

[blackpenny]

Thanks Barbieq. It was a fun trip down Memory Lane. Every now and then I tell myself I have so many things partly done I'm not making anything new until I finish them. Kind of like I won't buy new art supplies until I use the ones I have.

Da Vinci did have the sunflowers saved in his mind.

[barbieq25]

Yep, kinda like me saying, no more yarn until I use up what I have & then I see some delicious yarn at a ridiculously low price, or a new pattern...At least now I have my FB Ratscapade Crochet page up to sell some of my stuff. Sold 2 little bags yesterday

[blackpenny]

Awesome about selling your stuff! We used to have a Show and Sale in the calligraphy guild, but it disappeared when nobody stepped up to organize it. I still have polymer clay jewelry - I've been using it as gifts. My mother-in-law thinks I make things just for her.

Okay, we're a bit off topic here. A responsible admin would admonish us and tell us to stay on topic.

[Pixey]

I chose March because it's then so close to Spring in this neck of the woods - which I love. Tomorrow I'm headed for Florida for a month, to sit-out the rest of the winter. Brrrrrr - I so hate the cold. Perhaps tomorrow morning before I leave, I will be able to log-in to the main forum again ......... and then again, maybe not!
