I have finished my calendars, sent them off to the printers and got them back, so I know they're good to go! I always get my calendars printed at Lulu, that's a print-on-demand-shop with printers all over the world.
Now at the start of this year, Lulu made some big changes to its website, and the calendars got a make-over. Well, actually, they still look the same as previous years, but there are a few minor changes, that people who have been buying my calendars might notice:
- the cover is now really glossy paper
- the weeks start with Sundays now, not with Mondays
- there is no (automatic) message from me anymore to thank you for your purchase, which I think is a pity. Since it's a POD-shop I have no idea who buys my calendars or when, I just get an overview each month of how many calendars have been sold. So I want all of you who buy my calendars to know I'm really grateful, to thank you for your purchase and to wish it'll bring you as much pleasure as it was for me to create it
- there's no preview button anymore, which is really annoying. I hope they'll change that.
- and lastly: I put up one price, in Euro, and it automatically puts the amount in USD, GBP, AUD and CAD at the exchange rate of that moment. So it's possible the prices differ from day to day (except for the euro) When you open the link it automatically puts it in USD but you can easily change it when you scroll all the way down and there you can choose which currency you see.
I have decided to make three calendars: the map calendar, the intuitive art calendar with English quotes, and the intuitive art calendar without quotes. Because there is no preview anymore, I'm sharing all images of the calendars here.
I'll start with the map calendar:
