Calendar 2016

Using my Hasselblad 500 c/m analog photography throughout the year I compiled a little wall calendar and printed a limited edition of four copies.

- I am still missing a print on demand and self publishing solution for a square calendar layout.

It is a 21 x 21 cm format designed using the proprietary software of bookfactory.ch which runs on Mac OS X and can do among other formats square calendar layouts.

The result is very good and I will use the four copies as presents. The 6x6 cm medium format shot using my Hasselblad camera is visually very effective in a square print format.

Self publishing services

I was searching for a self-publishing, print on demand service in order to realise my wall calendar ideas.

There is a variety of print on demand services available offering calendar layouts but I could find only one self-publishing service which is www.lulu.com theat offers calendar layouts.

Unfortunately Lulu does not give you full control over the layout of your calendar.
My current calendar project is around landscape images all shot on medium format film using a Hasselblad 500 c/m camera producing square images. What I wanted to do was a calendar with black background image pages and one square photograph in the middle. But the Lulu layout would not allow me doing that in an easy way.

What service could do my job (custom calendar layout and self-publishing service)? - Any suggestions?
