I would like to try and design a picture calendar for a dog breed group I belong to. I am not a professional, but I’d like to learn how to design a calendar for fun. I have Photoshop 6, which I play around with a lot. Can I use this to design the calendar? or is there another software which you all feel would be better suited? (I have an old version of pagemaker, but I’m not as familiar with it. I also have MS Publisher, but I thought photoshop would create a nicer looking calendar end result?). I’d like to get the calendars printed on glossy paper, etc etc.

Btw, can In Design be used to create a calendar, or is photoshop better (I don’t have ID, but I’d like an excuse to buy it. lol)

Thanks,
P

You could but its not the correct software. Photoshop is fine for the images but you really need to use InDesign or brand Q for the layout of the calendar.

Or get your calendar from places like these and customise it yourself.

Check this out for InDesign. It’s incredible and it’s free:

Older versions of WORD had monthly calendar templates deep within the new document list. Had options to include pictures. Don’t know if the new and improved versions do.

Thanks for your replies. I checked those links out for the online software, but that’s not quite what I wanted. I will check the indesignsecrets link now. 🙂

QUESTION:
I found this site.

<http://www.candidphotostore.com/20phcate3.html>

THIS is the exact style photo calendar template I want and the right size (12×24), plus it seems I can use it with my Photoshop (I hope? I have Photoshop 6), but…I’ve never heard of this company, and the contact info is strange (a bogus tel no 555-555-1212 ??? hidden in the About Us menu).

Anyone ever purchase this site’s photoshop calendar template? It’s the layout and size I reeeeeeeeeeeallllly want. lol

Thanks!

555-1212 is national information.

just email them if you’re interested. there’s 2 email addresses on the same page where you found that #.

You can get their phone number if you do a ‘whois lookup’ on the domain. It seems that this is just a reseller of someone else’s services that has used an incomplete stock template for their storefront. This is the nature of the tiered promotional item business.
