A RedBubble calendar review - with pics
With the New Year upon us, have you considered where you are going to purchase your ‘08 calendars?
Before you go shopping, spare a moment or two. The courier has just delivered a new-release RedBubble calendar courtesy of James Pierce. Calendar contains pics from onetonshadow.
My first impression of the calendar is that it’s a premium product and has plenty of weight – not some cheap and nasty looking thing. It’s an A3 size – in plain speak that measures; 11.7in x 16.5in or 297mm x 420mm.
The cover page consists of a white matte paper which has a chunky feel to it (300gsm for the tech minded). Quite simply, it looks and feels good. From a marketing viewpoint, I believe it needs the artist’s name included on the cover page. Something for the RedBubble team to consider.
The monthly calendar pages are made of (175gsm) white matte paper which has a clean fresh look.
The numerals on each monthly page are not overly large, although they are easy to read. Being grey, they are more subtle than obvious and don’t distract from the artwork. There’s plenty of room to scrawl birthdays, anniversaries, holidays and due dates for your favourite debts.
The title of each image and artist’s name is printed underneath the image on each of the calendar month pages.
The artist’s RedBubble URL is also printed in the bottom right corner of each monthly page. So, there’s good exposure for those seeking world domination regarding sales.
The binding is the white plastic-coated type and it allows for easy turning of each page. It seems a good choice for the product as the pages hang flat.
Remember, 2008 is a leap year so there’s a smidgeon of extra value contained.

I’m pleased that RedBubble chose the Sunday to Saturday format. The Monday to Sunday format just don’t feel right :-) I’ve ordered four calendars.
Tom Godfrey
