Call for collaborators for a C.S. Lewis Quote Calendar 2011
This is not a contest, but is limited to 13 creative volunteers who would like to work together to design a C.S. Lewis Quote Calendar for 2011. (One design will be for the cover.)
What to do:
1. Pick a quotation from our C.S. Lewis Quote thread
<http://narniafans.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19273&highlight=quotes+Lewis>
or pick your own favorite quote from one of his works.
2. Post a brief description regarding your quote selection, ideas for how you would illustrate it, and what month you'd like it to used for. This step is important so we won't have duplication of quotations.
Note: Please use original art and photos rather than googleimages or another's work. And of course the quote you are illustrating needs to appear in your design somewhere.
Here are the months that are available:
__x_ Cover, Benisse
__x_ January, amdd97 "I'm going to live as like a Narnian as I can even if there isn't any Narnia."
__x_ February, Mrs Gil-Galad Took, To love at all is to be vulnerable.
__x_ March, mr fox + Benisse, All their life in this world and all their adventures in Narnia had only been the cover and the title page: now at last they were beginning Chapter One of the Great Story...
__x_ April, Miss Reepicheep, Your place in heaven will seem to be made for you and you alone, because you were made for it -- made for it stitch by stitch as a glove is made for a hand.
__x_ May, Lucy the Valient, Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it. It enriches the necessary competencies that daily life requires and provides; and in this respect it irrigates the deserts that our lives have already become.
__x_ June, Benisse, 'You come of the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve,' said Aslan. 'And that is both honour enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth.'
__x_ July, artwork by Annemarie, quote from BK, The hardness of God is kinder than the softness of men, and His compulsion is our liberation.
__x_ August, Zella, The best is perhaps what we understand least.
__x_ September, Gondorgirl, Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, 'What! You too? I thought I was the only one.'
__x_ October, BarbarianKing, I rather be killed fighting for Narnia than grow old and stupid at home.
__x_ November, Annemarie, Keep your eyes open
__x_ December, Miss Reepicheep, No book is really worth reading at the age of ten which is not equally and often far more worth reading at the age of fifty and beyond.
3. Then post your design to this thread (preferably before your month is over!), incorporating a calendar image of your month, using landscape orientation 280 pixels tall and 600 pixels wide. Note: I have a set of month images in jpeg on my profile page that you can copy as needed.
I will update links for each month to this first post as they are submitted, so check back often
Let the fun begin!
