2001 DML Calendar Submission Info

------------------------------------------------------------------------------


If you would like to have your truck considered for inclusion in the 2001 DML calendar, please send your photos via snail mail to:

Jon Steiger
836 King Road
Forestville, NY 14062

If you would like your pictures returned, please include an SASE. (Note: if you plan to order a calendar, then you don't need the SASE; I'll return your pics in the same envelope that I mail your calendar in...) Please note that I probably won't actually return any pics until after the calendar has begun printing, just in case something goes wrong and I have to scan them in again.

I am requesting that the pics be sent via snail mail because I will need to scan them in at approx. 11x8.5 inches at 400dpi, which generates a file size in excess of 50-60MB. That's probably slightly more than most people are willing to send via their 28.8 modems. (Not to mention my own access is via a 28.8 modem.) :-) However, if you absolutely must send pics to me electronically, be sure that they are at least 11 by 8.5 inches in size at a resolution of 400dpi or greater. (They should also be in CMYK format, rather than RGB format, if possible, and in 24 bit or higher color.) Uncompressed TIF format would be best (JPEGS will result in reduced quality.) If you absolutely need to send them via the Internet, please contact me in advance, so I can brace for the impact. :-) Othwerwise, a Zip disk or CD-R would be fine. However, if at all possible, I would really prefer the original photographs. All of the above is being done to maintain the highest quality possible. Any resizing, converting, etc. that is done will only reduce the quality, so given the "garbage in, garbage out" principle, I would like to keep the quality as high as possible right from the start.

By the way, feel free to send additional pics of different aspects of your truck that might be suitable as an "inset". For example, a nicely detailed engine bay, a big smoky burnout at the dragstrip, etc. If your "main" photo is selected for the calendar, a small "inset" showing something particularly interesting about your truck might be added... You may send as many "main" and "inset" pics as you like.
Thanks!


Dates

I will need to receive your pictures no later than Saturday, October 28

I am hoping to have the calendars available in early December.
