*** Opinion ***
Not trying to be a design snob here, but I kind of am one anyway. I think the bikes represent themselves well enough without needing to add a lot of flare to the images. Beveled edges and other assorted photoshop knick knacks (Patterned frames, gradients, background colors) distract from the intention of the calendar. I would also avoid using multiple fonts, particularly in a single line of text.
I would love to have a simplistic bottom half (Dates with holidays, black/white) and a high gloss full bleed image on top. I wonder if the biggest problem you're going to run into is not having high resolution images for decent print quality.
I would make the obligatory "not trying to offend anyone" statement, but this is a biker forum and you guys probably have lizard skin anyway.

Even if you are taking a picture that is 800x600, and you want to turn it into an 8''x10'', you can still convert the pixels at the production studio without stretching the picture. Just wondering when these will be done also. (I like what you've got!!)

Thank you for your opinion -- of course you know what opinions are like so please feel free to think that we value yours immensly.
As stated earlier, this thread is intended to let us know how many we need to order so we can get a price -- not for artistic expressionist type ideas. The calendar will look pretty much how it looks now with possibly a few minor changes. If you like it then order it -- if not then don't. Unfortunately we can't please everyone -- but so far I'm happy as a pig in sh!t with the results so there ya go

As a biker with lizard skin there was no pain from the suggestions.....and as the primary designer to this point allow me to reassure you that the resolution has been taken care of with each picture, what is being seen here are not the final copies but rather a decreased size and resolution being used to show a preview of what will be available.....rest assured the final product will be at 300dpi resolution and in CMKY color for printing purposes....but once again thanx for your feedback, it has been filed for later refference.

Thanx man...as for the finished product we are shooting for december shipping there are a few things still in the works but when we know we will let everyone know as well....as said prior this is an interest poll prior to ordering so it will depend on a few different things....

Head shots where considered for the calendar....not out of the question yet...still time to make adjustments.....I hope you all like the progress so far! we do want to honor the bikes and the wins!! The final pages are still in the works and getting better everyday!! Lots of time between now and the end of the year!!!
If you have headshot, I would make them kinda small an off in one corner because I would want the calendar to admire the bikes. Although the people that did the work would be great to know. I still want to see the bike more than anything.

Sorry for deviating from the topic. I'm glad you guys are putting this thing together regardless of the design.
