Description
this is the last page of my calendar.i will upload the rest of the pages (the ones with the actual pictures and months on) when i can get onto the other computer and use the .gif making program i have on it, since the other pages are interactive with paper flaps and stuff...
warning this page is really large so you can read the type. it might take a wee while to load.
extra love to those people who have helped me though the creation of this, just by reading my journals and giving me your two cents. you guys know who you are, and more importantly; i know who you are

It looks like the text for July/August has been cut short: "(because no-one wants a Christmas Cake"

This calendar idea is wonderful. All of the pictures and the misconseptions are so well done. This whole calendar is awesome!!

thank you! i'm glad you think so

i love this concept.... i've never seen anything like it! i love how you're clearing up misconceptions, because the world is full of them... so to clear away a few is always great. the different styles are wonderful... it seems like a different artist each time, and makes the whole idea much more exotic (i think that's a good word to describe it 
i'd love to be able to buy a calendar like this... its wonderful!

what a wonderful idea. i can't wait to see the finished product!

Not sure if you noticed it or intended it, but the end of the "gothic lolita" section is missing a parenthesis and punctuation. It's a lovely project you've got going there, and I wouldn't want you to have an error in your finished project, especially because it's looking so polished and professional.

a BEAUTIFUL variety of styles. i definetly like the last one the best, from what i can see. i'd seriously love a copy. i guess i'll have to scrounge up some money from somewhere. . . -_-
you did an absolutely WONDERFUL job on this, and i can't wait to see the full pictures!!!!

thank you so much man ^____^ i'm not sure if i'll be able to sell them, because it cost me the earth just to make the exhibition one, and it's only printed on one side - not 2 like it would need to be if it was for sale. it's hella expensiev @_@

Wow. Wicked stuff. I would totally buy this calendar. *nod nod*

I can't wait to see the rest of the pages! Especially the Ganguro. She looks like someone I'd try to date...no matter how much she tried to scare me off!

I can't wait to see the Ganguro page!

Sweet I was wondering what was going to be in the calender. Its going to be great.
π: 0 β©: 0
i was gonna point stuff out but you already know about them :3 i'm so glad you can sleep normally again

goodness, another stunning layout. somehow it really lends a harmony to all of the colors.

Awsome! Not only the drawings but the description aswell! very intresting and cool!
π: 0 β©: 0
ah, just the intro looks great X3 I love the diff styles you used for each section, it gives a nice variety for the final product
π: 0 β©: 1
thanks! yeah, i had to go for variety in order to get more credits for the final project. if it was all drawn the same with the date in the same place in the same font style on every page i'd get less marks, haha.

That's a pretty good design for your calender.
It's an assingment right? When's it due?
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah, it's due to be put up in the exhibition on monday. wah T____T its going to take me all day to mount this baby. so many flaps and tabs @_@ i hate mounting. i wish i could just hand it all in in a clear file
π: 0 β©: 1
Mount? Is it really big?
Well, tomorrow's the big day then, good luck on your grades.
π: 0 β©: 1
im mounting each 'page' on a separate piece of board, so that people can pull the flaps back and stuff. so there'll be 6 boards (one for each page with 2 months on) and a board for the cover and back page each. so 8 in total. but some pages have as many as 6 A3 sized pages incorporated into the design (for the pull back flaps and stuff) so it's going to be interesting.
i also have 2 A2 sized boards i have to fill up with my Pepeha stuff ( [link] )... so it's going to be a long night of cutting and pasting for me. i HATE mounting stuff. i HATE cutting boards, becuase i am a retard when it comes to using rulers and scalpels and i can't cut straight or mount even.
If you're still online when you get this, could you please do me a massive favour and give me your 2 cents on this (since you always seem to know what you're talking about X3 )? [link] it's business cards for my exhibition.
thanks for the good luck wishes though ^____^

I actually wouldn't know whether I actually know what I'm talking about. I give my honest opinions and explain why I feel so as well as I can.
I've actually already gave my two cents on that one before reading this one. Hope that helps.

yeah. i've probably got it all wrong, since its just my western interpretation... but who cares, its my project, i can butcher it how i want X3

this was entertaining to read and i liked all the little details. 8D

Very nice! There are a few slight grammarical errors (like the second sentance in the ama divers needs a stronger break and the gothic lolitas last lines is missing a cosing bracket?) But otherwise it looks great!

oops. this is the version i wrote between the ours of 4am and 7:30am friday morning @_@ i actually took it to school and edited it (there were some MASSIVE spelling mistakes... like when I don't know how to spell a word i'll just type something that looks similar and hope spellcheck picks it up... only i forgot to run it thru spell check X3), but of course that edited page is on the school comp. i've managed to truncate the end of the 'Gothic Lolita' paragraph here.. it should go on to read "afte the 25th).", i didn't even think to proof read it before i uploaded it onto DA @_@ i didn't notice the ama problem though, thanks. i can't be bothered reprinting, i'm hoping that people will be too busy looking at the pictures to read it X3

its okkk sorry to be nitpicky about something stupid like that when you're already under so much stresss but its SO ALMOST OVER HANG IN THERE!
π: 0 β©: 1
haha, no, i should have shown you earlier, actually. i needed someone to proof read but i had no one X3 coz no one else knows engrish eiver :B its embarrassing to have spelling mistakes on stuff like that. on DA i dont give a toss X3 yay! almost done X3
i should stop proΒ·crasΒ·tiΒ·natΒ·ing and go mount it >_> ( look! i spell checked X3 )

OMG... the ganguro fits your style TOO well. Everything else looks totally awesome! I really like the alternate style you used for the housewife, mimicking old samurai paintings. :3
This was well worth all the time and effort put into it - it's great. Awesome job, babe.

I'm so excited to see this comming together after so much of your hard work! It looks really fabulous and you can tell that you really put a lot of time and effort in to it. I bet you're just excited to be done

WOW
It has turned out amazing fo' sho'!
You work really well with calendars!
Can't wait to see the layout of the rest~!

It all looks great. The only thing I really think about is Ganguro girl seems kind of weird to be during the winter months.
π: 0 β©: 1
haha, actually, it's been made for a New Zealand market (where I live), and November December are our hottest months, so I found it quite fitting X3
π: 0 β©: 1
Ah. I had completely forgotten where you lived. 
Kind of weird how that works, huh?
π: 0 β©: 0
It turned out way amazing. Great job. I'm sure this will receive a top grade! I do hope you are planning on posting more of the calender pages. ^_^
π: 0 β©: 0
Whoa. Lotsa stuff in there I didn't know. Looks great, and the explanations are very well written.
π: 0 β©: 0
That's some hot stuff! 
π: 0 β©: 0
Eeee!
You're going to make this available for buying on DA right? Because I SO want a copy.
