Calendar craft help?

Question

I'm creating a calendar on Print Shop 6.0 for my boyfriend and I'm not sure really what to do. I know how to use the program and all that. I just don't know if I should do like an inspirational type calendar, cause he's about to go off to college, or funny cartoons, or just pictures of us, or all combined? Is inspirational too girly? Are pictures of us together too girly and weird as well?

Thoughts? Suggestions??

Answer 1

Do you have any pics of his friends.  You could do some months with you and him, some with him and his friends and some with his family.  Just make sure all the pics are pics he will not be embarrassed to show his roommate and keep the backgrounds very neutral.

Answer 2

Try to put yourself in his place and imagine what he would like to see. Consider what would be awe inspiring to him. Take into account his interests and/or hobbies. Think about nature themes with pictures of well known spots like Everest, Angel Falls, Niagara, huge waves at Jaws, etc. Don't think about it so much as do what feels right. I'm sure you will do a great job. Good luck.

Answer 3

Hi... great question...

I was just wondering if you could do two calendars? I know that for me getting an inspirational calendar is pretty powerful stuff. I really love those sorts of calendars. And maybe you could also create a calendar using pictures of you two. Add in some hand written notes maybe, or something out of your diary perhaps. (Just ideas). It would almost be like a photo book?

Anyways, I think that pictures of people is always a good thing. He might not have that many pictures of you two together? Or he might like to be reminded of places you've been together? (Just ideas again). But inspirational pictures, especially if they're really powerful, are big motivators. And so are people pictures, if they carry lots of meaning.

Mmm, so maybe make two, or give it some more thought. See which one he likes perhaps?

Hope that helps, good luck.
