/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>26492

It's actually really good, although the only 2 things I would change a little is that February shouldn't just be science oriented, but electricity oriented. And september should encourage /diy/'ers to think outside the box and innovation, try making things in areas that few have ventured into (aka fringe science)

>MacGuyver month

>adam & jamie, tesla, red green, stark, macgyver, tim and al, DOC FUCKING BROWN, da vinci
Yes.
>Frankenstein
Something more related to him, perhaps?
>others
I either am ignorant to the rest, pardon me.

I don't like Marie Curie and Martha Stewart together...Why do they have anything to do with eachother other than they're both chicks

>>26541
Yeah I phoned it in with December.
Thoughts on what could be Frankenstein related?

>>26547
Truth, man. Put Marie Curie with Da Vinci or Tesla or something. Group by specialty, not gender. Martha Stewart is a craft goddess, so she has earned a spot. Curie is just a scientist.
>implying crafting is superior to scientific innovations. I know.

>>26547
I think Stewart and Curie were paired together to contrast two perceptions of DIY culture. The everyday DIY person, and the person who DIY'd to an extreme. When she haunts the board, it's to balance the board out.

However, I totally get that Martha Stewart is nothing like Curie.

>>26579
interesting take, but somehow I doubt that.

I think Curie should go with Tesla, and we'll keep that science month

>>26547
>>26576
Like someone else said, they balance eachother out, one's a female scientist, the other is a female inventor

>>26584
I'm warm to that suggestion.
Are we alright with consildating Telsa's Month of Glory into the Science Month Of Glory?

>>26592
nah, keep telsa seperate, put murie with da vinci, let martha keep Julyackno

>>26599
typo at the end, *july

Although I still like the Marie Martha combo

>>26592
February OTP

>>26599
Perhaps a poll should be made to decide.

I'm supportive of both ideas. I think they both have valid reasons for moving Curie over to May, and moving her to Tesla's. I would keep Curie with Stewart only to not have Stewart get her own month lol.

>>26615
"only to not have Stewart get her own month" yeah that too lol, da vinci for a month's ok, but Martha? No thanks haha.

I'll make a poll

>>26609
HAHAHA
Okay, I'm doing this. It fits with Science and Valentine's Day.

>>26609
I'm sure this will bring me much joy come February.

>>26624
I don't know, I think a crafting month would be nice. Every han/diy/man should also know how to sew a table cloth, knit a sweater, and make their own holiday decorations.

>>26637
Oh, I deleted my comment to slow. And you could still have that with the radioactive ghost of Marie haunting the board

All settled. Gathering Images Now.

Next, is there a desired font?
It's still in Ugly Arial. Though, remember, it's a prototype Calendar that's in .pdf from OpenOffice.

>>26650
Still, it seems silly to stick them together just because they both have vaginas.
I much prefer Scientist Love month.

>>26651
I COMMAND YOU TO USE THE ALMIGHTY HELVETICA

>>26651

Calibri

>>26655
Good point, and scientist love month does sound better anyway

December, Frankenstein month,
We all create a monster, something truly unholy

>>26651
comic sans

g'night for now everyone

>>26688

Shouldn't crafts month be sometime colder when it's not optimal to be outside?

>>26702
We could switch July with November. That way you can get the Christmas crafting in there.

>>26718
Updates:
>Switching Through Fonts, Calibri looks like it doesn't suit the project, Helvetica works so far...
>5 of 14 months fully complete of the prototype. (Figured I'd add Nov and Dec of this year)

If we switch Martha to November, we lose all the Tool Time Jokes that come with the Holidays. Think of the christmas//thanksgiving episodes of that show. I will politely decline moving Tim and Al. Christmas can happen in July, sure, but I'd stick Martha with that Christmas.

Yeah, I guess I didn't realize it but I must have something against Martha.

>>26748
Perhaps Martha can have October? I've used her website multiple times for halloween decorating ideas...
I too am not the biggest Martha fan but I am a big crafting fan, and no can can deny her crafting skills.

back for a bit
>>26748
you could switch July with March, it's still pretty cold then

>>26748
>Helvetica

>>26772
Doc is specifically put in October because that's when he travels to the future in the 2nd movie (Other months with significance between date and person are January, February, April,(Curie died in July, but we moved her), and september

>>26778
It is done. Martha is Now March, Lina is now July.

Helvetica will not export to .pdf, I blame OpenOffice's source code for that one.
Guess we're stickin with Arial.

Who is Lina, if you don't mind me asking?

>>26913
German car specialist.
Went from YouTube DIYr to paid gig on a show.
Also, sexy german engineering bonus.

>>26921
Back in The morning guys.
I'm burned out.
I got 7 of 14 months completed.

>>26961
>I got 7 of 14 months completed.
>7 of 14 months completed
>14 months completed
>14 months

Great to see that this has taken off. Looking forward to how it develops.

>mfw my first pantheon calendar was just me throwing in my favorite /diy/ers at random and it's developed into this

>>26651
Helvetica all the way

OP are you german?

Since I thought that Lina van de mars was only known to german DMAX viewers...

Or is she known to other nations to?

>>26978
Damn you made me laugh too loud.

>>26978
Maybe they were referring to how some monthly calendar planners have 14 months instead of 12

>>27902
Me too, it would be neat to be one of the founders

>>26651
Univers.

>>26688
>>26688
COOMMIIICC SSAAANNS!!!

Wait wait.. 14 months.. ALLOFMYWAT.gif

>>29679
I'm back.

Yeah, I added Nov and Dec 2011 to this 2012 calendar.

>>26651
Why aren't you using profont or terminus?

I love this board.

>>29704
Hey, while you do whatever it is in openoffice, I'm gonna mess around in photoshop a little

>>29714
OpenOffice is only compatible with TTF fonts. Helvetica is a OTF font.

I have run into an issue. I cannot remember all of the animated gods for June. So far I have
>Prof Frink
>Prof Farnsworth
>Dexter and Dee Dee
>Jimmy Neutron
>Bob The Builder
>Hank Hill
>That Wrench Girl From That Anime

Any others I missed?

>>29728
You forgot Double D (Not the same as Dee Dee) also are we really going to add that anime one? I have nothing against it but it seems way too obscure

>>29728
>Any others I missed?
Iwakura Lain
Ms. Frizzle
Kawashiro Nitori

>OpenOffice is only compatible with TTF fonts
http://www.tobias-jung.de/seekingprofont/
Profont has multiple font types, including TTF. I believe terminus does too.

>>29727
I would love it if you did. Remember, it's a shitty prototype with OpenOffice and Paint. I'd like to make a really well made one for the new year though, so I'd be willing to spend over 9000 hours in photoshop sigh
>yfw I actually know how to use photoshop

>>29763
do you currently not have photoshop?

>>29754
Just wiki'd those 2 weaboos, can't find anything /diy/ related, frizzle sounds like a neat idea, but I can't really remmember her building anything of her own and we are getting too much animated characters

>>29824
Kawashiro Nitori is an engineer, but it's sort of unknown and we can't just be adding just any engineer we see

>>29832
>>29824
also I agre ewith the frizzle thing too, don't remember her doing much /diy/

>>29824
Lain: creates a huge supernetwork in her room out of mail-order parts, liquid cooling via a layer of water on the floor. Integrates her consciousness and network to the collective unconscious of gaia, becomes god through technology hacks.

Nitori: Kappa who builds a nuclear reactor, giant steam-powered robot, and DIYs all the technology in use in the touhouverse, runs around with a wrench, cloaking device and uses nuclear themed attacks.

Frizzle maybe not so much.

This thread...

...is my new life plan. I would actually buy this calendar.

>>29845
K, I need like one more to fill the space.
I added Lain, Nitori and TF2 Engie.

>>29798
I have it, and I'll create a super animation mash-up image on it after I submit the base calendar. If people like the idea of the Calendar enough from this first release, we'll re-release it with hours of work put into it, especially in photoshop.

Rough Draft

Update: Prototype Complete.
Here's the .pdf of it.
http://www.mediafire(dot)com/?gr59mljszzcwxke

C, C, and C. Critique, Correct and Continue The Work!

Do we like the layout? Do we want to stick with printer page size pages for the calendar? What would we like included in the next version? (etc.)

>>30143
June - How about Animation Domination, instead of Animation Gods
July - Try to get a photo without a watermark

Other than that, it's really good. good job

>>30143

Yep, that's the rest of this year and the next one for me. Thanks, kind anons!

>>30132
That should be the coverpage of the calendar, with each God.
>>30168
Animation Domination and New Lina Image Free of Watermark.

I think this could be the beginning of a terrific calendar, and a great way to keep /diy/ challenged all year. (if they seek it!)

Picture section is 1/2 done, been going at it on and off

>>31021
awesome.

Only one I don't care for is Martha Stewart. Something about her always irked me plus she doesn't like pizza.

>>26885

>>32087
Forgot my name, also I'm 3/4ths done

>>31021
It's...It's...Beautiful.

Too may animated gods, I think we should only keep a few.
>voting to keep Engie and Dexter for sure

>Frankenstein
Something "living", for example light seeking solar-powered mini-robots

Just, anything you can scream "IT'S ALIVE!" at when you're done.

FF DIN is like Helvetica but a more elaborate and beautiful.
I always use DIN for clean things like schematics and papers.

>>32195
>>32092
thanks! Also I'm back now so the pictures should be on there in half an hour-ish

Small poll, for the color of the image
http://www.yourfreepoll.com/ojxvekmgsp.html

also the board-tan will go in the center btw

Done for now! I'll do some touch ups here and there to make it pretty, and the other guy has to get his calendar done (I'll actually print it off and use it if you get to a final version) Now we just need a board-tan

I'll just upload this quickly before I go again
