2006 Prius Calendar SOS Call!

OK. I'm back in town, thanks for the encouragement, and some updates:

0) I have a band-aid on my finger, sorry fo r the crappy typing.

1) idea of poster is cool. I had originally designed for cover with my selection of images, resolution. etc. but if you think poster is better, than ok with me. Anything to advance the PriusChat community!!!

2) if it is a poster, i'd like to change the date to November 24, 2005 instead of 2006. This is the official 'commemorative' date of the image (US Thanksgiving, 2005).

3) As for not finding your avatar, I figured out a way to get everyone's avatar on the image. The new image seems 'brighter,' more colorful. I will post an 'everybody' image sometime soon, wathc this thread. I have thought about it, and it seems important that everyone's avatar is there. In fact, my avatar, Danny's and a few other 'often' posters avatars were not on the image, so I;ve cleared that up.

4) Whatever form this takes, poster or cover or whatever, I need to know capabilities of printer. These types of images are pretty sensitive to capabilities of print medium. Just let me know what printer is capable of doing, what the final size/dpi etc is and I will generate the best image for that target.

5) As fo rthe GM logo, that styas. It is some one's avatar. There is also an avatar of a toyo logo with a big X through it. In the spirit of the poster, I cannot discriminate.

Unofficial stats:
6) Cats and dogs were pretty much even. The cat photos were slightly more interesting, which included "cat in a glass" and "cat with apple core on its head"

7) The stock Toyo photo of the Salsa car was the most prevalent avatar.

8) Seaside Pearl (my color) was the most prevalent color avatar car. Black and Salsa were next in line.

9) There were a few people that had 0 posts, but still had an avatar. I failed to see the point, but commemorated them anyway.

10) after cars, cats/dogs came in #2, then airplanes, then cartoons, then kids, then locomotives.

10) I used 965 images.

Other stuff:

11) my band-aid is still on. Sorry for the crappy typing.

12) Thanks to the downtempo thread. Good music suggestions.....

13) y'all are accounting for about 50% of the traffic on my ambientmining.com site.... Ain't going to post the hi res versions until I upmy bandwidth fees with the host...

 

YEAH! I love bigdaddy's concept.... now I'll need a poster and a calendar For the calendar I like hv74656 bottom pic as well.

 

Wait until you see the PriusChat action figures!

and DaveinOlyWA's too. This is a human-computer collaboration: Interestingly, the GM logo is color-neutral enough that it is chosen to fill in a bunch of places in the old pic, i've changed the params to have it not appear as much.
The Bill Merchant photo appears pretty much a constant number of times. No matter what settings I use, Bill shows up. Go figure. All Hail Bill!!!!

 

OW...OW!

My ears!

I've lost my ears!

Or as someone said....Hey....did you know your Avatar's ears have a dog attached to them?

 

The cans vote is also fir big daddy's image...



....if my avatar gets in there too!! :lol:

 

Big thanks to Big Daddy for this exceptional effort!

 

The idea of having of having bigdaddy's photo mosaic as a poster is really cool. As a poster, it would be easy to find everyone's avatar. The poster could be sold as the PriusChat 2 Year Anniversary Calendar. Before this whole calendar contest came up, I was going to make my own Prius calendar, but I guess "A Prius for All Seasons" will have to wait till '07.

 

wow. that picture made me want to talk leet. as in OMFG!!11!

sorry all - they've been great submissions, but that just took the cake. wow.

 

Here is an update to the calendar cover image. To the best of my knowledge, it has everyone's avatar as of last weekend. GM is in there once and only once. Godiva has her ears back.

It is not really print quality scale, just for demo purposes. The full one is about 7mb, this one only about 2Mb.
