creating a calendar 1

[thefrstgatsby]

Does anyone know of a free website with a tutorial to make a calendar with photoshop or illustrator? I'm having a hard time making the grid part and having the numbers align in the same position in the grid boxes.

Try

http://www.google.com

That's what I did when I needed one, although I can't remember which site it was.

I've tried that and it kept returning either pay sites, or not what I was looking for. Do you remember the key words you used to find the site?

This is really better suited to a page-layout application like InDesign or QuarkXpress, and even then comes with it's own list of issues... like building all pages sideways to a make imposition possible.

Sure, you could do it in Photoshop, but why bother?

I suppose you could also typeset a novel in Photoshop if you were a masochist.

So you recommend QuarkXpress or InDesign, I'll check those out...

Thanks alot!

Can you say what you planb on doing with the calendar like print it, display on web page etc.?

It will be printed off for sale. The graphics part I can do no problem, it's just the calendar grid that is a pain.

You could make 12 seperate EPS pages in Illustrator quite easy.
Then give them to your printer. He will have no problem sorting out into an imposition.

It won't take him any longer.
