My 2007 client calendar template [Archive]

Just sharing! I send my clients a calendar featuring a picture from their own session each year for xmas.

It's a 5x8 template....I tried 5x7 first, but I had a hard time getting the picture and logo both on there without making the calendar part too tiny. It can be cropped down to 5x7 easily enough if you prefer that size.

I'm planning on getting two on an 8x10, then cutting myself. I'm getting the 5x8 adhesive magnetic backing here: http://www.magnetvalley.com/index.cfm/fa/items.main/parentcat/6643/subcatid/39295/id/205050

Here's what it looks like...the days of the month are each on a separate layer, so you can change the font to whatever you want. Same with the year.

Thanks. Thats very neat and nice of you to share. I never thought of that before. My mother gets calanders from her insurance company each year and always loves those. ROFL For sessions so far I've been giving either a fridge magnet or a keychain with a pic from their order, but of course I havent been doing this long enough to offer something each year. The calander is NICE.

This is a great idea. Should the photos have a protective coating? I've never done this type of thing before.

Thanks for sharing! How are you having them printed? 2 om an 8x10? Last year i did 4x6 calendar's but i like this size better, i think! Any chance you will re-load it for us? How about if we beg ;)

KarenE

11-09-2006, 11:15 AM

Joe, I use whcc and just get them sprayed. Nothing too fancy, calendar's free and only has to last a year! ;) My clients love these.

Thanks Karen. I also use whcc, but have never had anything sprayed.

Oh Joe ... you will love it! I have my large collages sprayed (the ones that don't fit in my frames!)

nicleigh

11-09-2006, 11:36 AM

thank you! Cant wait to get started on these!
oh, a tip for you that i picked up from somewhere, is to send them out with New Year cards, instead of Christmas, since people get so many cards at Christmas time, they might be stuffed in a drawer ;)

KarenE

11-14-2006, 01:17 AM

That's a great idea! Another is to send out Thanksgiving cards giving thanks for your customer's business.

KarenE

11-14-2006, 01:17 AM

Joe, the spray is real nice...helps keep fingerprints off.

I spoke too soon. I can't get it. It says it will not work with my version of Photoshop (sigh).

Thank you for sharing anyway, hope everyone else gets good use of it!

This won't open in PS CS for me either. Can anyone format this to work in later versions of PS?
Thanks,
Marc

KellyC

11-18-2006, 10:42 AM

It works in my CS. Try again Marc. Maybe it's just the fonts? I know that there was at least one font that I didn't have...

JML Photography

11-18-2006, 11:19 AM

Did you have to add the fonts before being able to use the template? What fonts are used in the template?
Thanks,
Marc

KarenE

11-18-2006, 12:10 PM

This was made in CS2....so I'm not sure why it wouldn't work in CS.

KarenE

11-18-2006, 12:12 PM

The font is Sunnydale, it's a paid font that I used because it's the same as my logo. You shouldn't be roped into using it though...PS should be able to substitute the font with something you have. Although I've seen people's examples using the Sunnydale font, so it works for some.

JML Photography

11-18-2006, 02:34 PM

I'm still not having any luck opening the file. Could you save it as a tiff and send it to me?

Thanks,
Marc

KellyC

11-18-2006, 04:17 PM

I don't have Sunnydale, it just substituted a different font. Not sure why it won't open for you though. Maybe some of the other PS pros around here might know. Sorry, I'm not going to be much help here!

JML Photography

11-18-2006, 07:36 PM

Karen, I didn't have any luck opening yours but I was inspired to make my own. Thanks!!

DLutz

11-18-2006, 08:18 PM

I have CS2 and CS and 7 will not open in any one... I tried to rename a different font to sunnydale! still no luck :(

lp-photography

11-18-2006, 08:18 PM

Karen, I didn't have any luck opening yours but I was inspired to make my own. Thanks!!

What size is that? I tried to make my own as well, and just ended up getting frustrated. I couldn't get the font size big enough on such a small space.

JML Photography

11-18-2006, 09:05 PM

I made mine as an 8x10. I made each month seperately and saved the month and then I reduced each total month to 2.5" wide by 1" high. If you want I can forward you mine. I'm not sure how to make a template but I can send you the calander and you can add the rest via new layers.

lp-photography

Nicole

11-18-2006, 09:10 PM

I have cs2 and it would not open for me either :(
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

KarenE

11-18-2006, 10:01 PM

That is so strange! Why can some people get it and others can't? Does it say anything when you try to open it, or does it just not open?

Nicole

11-18-2006, 10:14 PM

It says:
There was a problem reading the layer data. Read the composite data instead? (with an option to read composite data or cancel).

If I click "read composite data" I get another error:
Could not complete your request because the file is not compatable with this version of PS.

KarenE

It downloaded okay...as a .psd file, right? Hmm...I'm going to go upload again. Maybe try restarting your computer and/or PS and then trying again?

Hey Karen, thanks! I LOVE this! :) I tried to download it before, but couldn't. Worked perfectly this time :)

Here's what mine looks like (this is the first time I've ever extracted a pic from the background, so it's not great, but I think it'll be cute after I work on it a bit more :)
