BandCal is a calendar powered completely by you and your Band! Submit a photo
of a DAY, DATE, MONTH or YEAR and your grubby mugs will be added into the
BandCal system, appearing in both the BandCal
Gallery and on conversionstudios.co.uk in the BandCal itself! Keep your pics
fun, creative and reflective of who your band is and what you do!
INSTRUCTIONS
The very important oppressive-dictator-sounding rules:
- FOR BEST RESULTS Photos should be 580 x 380 in size and in JPEG format.
- There needs to be either a DAY, DATE (numerical number, or phonetic
number), MONTH or YEAR in the photo!
- The photo cannot be altered after you take it. This means that the DAY,
DATE, MONTH or YEAR, HAS to be within the actual photo, not added later with
an image editor or paint program. This also includes using your image editor
to add phrases overtop of the clock photo such as "Heavy Metal Rules Man!"
or "Time for Bed..."
- No web URL's or blatant attempts at gig/product/band promotion in the
photo. By "blatant attempt" I mean that your photo looks more like it
belongs on TV, in a glossy mag or above a public bathroom urinal.
- SORRY! NO webcam photos, the quality isn't good enough.
Some very helpfully useful tips:
- Don’t just take boring photos in your house! Keep in mind that people
viewing the site are most likely indoors already - Encourage their
daydreaming and hampered productivity by finding an inspired location for
your Band Cal snap!
- Be creative. This is an ideal opportunity for you to expose your band
and your bands brand values! Make your image something unforgettable!
- It helps if you have the DAY, DATE, MONTH or YEAR written out large to
the point where the WRITING takes up a decent amount of the picture. The
numbers don't necessarily have to be huge, just "bold" enough to be readable
when the picture is reduced down to 80 pixels wide.
The legal-lawyer-official stuff:
- Once uploaded, all photos become property of conversionstudios.co.uk
- You will not be financially compensated now or anytime in the future for
your submission. But you will however, get the satisfaction of a job well
done and thousands of people seeing your band and your photo.
- Please do not submit any copyrighted pictures.
