Dear all,
we are still discussing about the layout of the WLM calendar.
Current status is: http://etherpad.wikimedia.org/WLM-calendar
I have been talking to some friends about the design of the calendars. Two things:
- The size of the images: Is the designer allowed to cut / crop the
images to make them fit into the design? Of course, within reasonable margins, with commons sense. I have attached an example of the lol porn calendar, which I find quite nice. But since we have different formats and sizes of images (imagine one image like this on the page: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/78/St_petersburg_4.jpg...),
I am not quite sure if it is good idea to make this calendar in portrait possition - as vast majority of WLM pictures are rather landscapes. Anyway cropping will be necessary. Morever the Jury is about to choose 10 pictures - not 12... so I guess we can add 2 winning pictures from Europeana "Art Noveau" constest to have 12 ?
