Yesterday I was looking through all the artwork files and came across the original artwork for the 2005 Calendar I produced which was promoted by the PugVillage. It got me thinking...

This year I want to produce another calendar in the same vain, but this time I want to produce something that can aid each and everyone of the Pug Rescues around the world. The Forever Home Pugvillage 2006 Calendar went a little way to doing this, but I think we can do a 2007 version on a bigger and better scale in turn providing more benefits along the way. The downfall with the 2006 calendar was that most of the promotion was only done through the Pugvillage Forums which although it has a reasonable sized membership is still a fairly small platform for advertising.

What I would like to do, if rescues are willing to participate, is to produce a new Pugs in Forever Homes Calendar that can be customized for each and every rescue. The main content of the calendar would be the same for each and every rescue, but the front cover would be customised for each individual rescue organisation. This would enable a "branded" style to be produced.

Content would once again be images of Pugs that have now been placed in the Forever Homes along with their name, the rescue organisation involved and a date. We could easily achieve 24 images per page - which allows for a reasonable amount of photos from each and every organisation that gets involved.

My time is, as always, given freely. No costs whatsoever will be incurred by anybody taking part in this project.

Comments would be appreciated on this. My move to the USA will mean I have some spare time on my hands when I arrive - and this would allow me to get my teeth into something worthwhile.

Other parts of the project could include the setting up and branding of CafePress stores for individual organisations who lack the knowhow. We need to generate revenue desperately for these people, they do a wondeful and worthwhile job.

You can contact me at richard [at] dennyandcharlie [dot] com for more information.

Pass the word around.... the more organisations we get involved, the more that will benefit.
