Tide Posted January 6, 2011 Author Share Posted January 6, 2011 This policy isn't something we will bend on. If you didn't personally take the photos, you won't be eligible. We had a past incident that had legal action threatened and the calendar removed for sale.

LegacyDan Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 i have a question about the zazzle calendars. I noticed at least 2 of the pictures Febuary and April are cropped badly is this done by Zazzle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegacyDan Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 The photographers requested they not be cropped. but mine is! do you have to resize it yourself on zazzle site? as it seems to be just "fitting to page" and loosing half of the car on right side!

pre-dent Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Haha, what's the point in having votes if you can just change the images to whatever you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tide Posted January 6, 2011 Author Share Posted January 6, 2011 Dan - I think you are referring to the images that were full-bleed. If photos were to the correct dimensions, they were bleed to the edges, so yes some of the image is not present. That is how printing full-bleed works - I don't know how correct Zazzle's images are vs. the final product. I suppose I could simply not bleed anything and have lots of white border or individually produce black borders for everything but there isn't time or need to do that. I also want to remind everyone we only sell maybe 10-20 calendars, producing maybe $30 at best for the site. A single moderator hoodie is $45. I'd love to spend more time making the calendar spectacular - but it's never proven worth the effort. I think next year I'll let someone else try to run the program and see if there could be more success. We have some really great photographers.

Tide Posted January 6, 2011 Author Share Posted January 6, 2011 The point is that member's opinions are important and have weight in the final process. A staff only or member only choosing would produce slightly less interesting results. Why not combine opinions on both sides to make something better? As I previously also mentioned, direct voting just doesn't work. There is a huge bias to the photos on the first 3-4 pages with significant dropoff after. How do you normalize the voting data? How do we get equal distribution to the first photo posted and the last photo posted? I suppose I could have put everything in a spreadsheet and maybe used a true bayesian estimate for the voting weights, would be interesting to see that data, but I don't think we even had enough votes in the system to make that really effective. In the end we looked at everyone's opinions as well as our own and that's what was chosen. I tried to be clear in the thread that voting was to 'help us' inform decisions. I truly apologize if you feel I shouldn't personally get a say in what calendar I make. Haha, what's the point in having votes if you can just change the images to whatever you want.

pre-dent Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 My comment was not intended to criticize your decision on how the images were chosen. I understand the method used. I am referring to the "change" feature on Zazzle. I just think it's funny to have a site sponsored calendar where the buyer can just edit the photos how they want and change images to their own vehicle. Anyone could do that at Walmart... A whole calendar of their favorite photos! I love the idea of having a calendar for the site and I was stoked to see that my car was selected to be in it. However, it's the bitter people who are upset about not having their car selected for the calendar that make it less special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocHolladay23 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I appreciate your time/opinion Tide! I think the only possible way a vote would ever work is to have a deadline for posting pics, then editing the first post/several posts and putting all the pics there, and then having a vote for a set amount of time after that. In the end it sounds like it would be a big headache, especially considering that this calendar ended up with great pics IMO, and I'm not just saying that because one of my pics was chosen, I think they all look great.
