With many thanks to Lillith's awesome excel guide on the dates in Golarian, I wanted to put together a quick calendar that I (or others) could print out and use at their games. I am currently using a layout where the main part of the picture (1024x768 image) is dominated by something from Pathfinder, with the 'calendar' part being in the bottom right.
Ideally, I would do one for each month. Abadius, Calistril, etc. I wanted to know if anyone had ideas on the best Pathfinder image for each month. Preferably images of a size like these. That way they would not need to be blown up and can retain the amazing quality.
Any ideas on what to use for each month would be great, thanks guys!

Here is an example (picture is not final) of the layout:
Voila
I am not fully set on the layout, and again the picture is only a placeholder until I find a more appropriate one for the month. Also, if anyone at Paizo could tell me what legal info I'd need on these pictures (if any), I'd appreciate it. :)
Edit: These calendars are made for the year 4708 also, I need to pick a good spot on the picture to note that.
For funsies, it would be cool to include the "real" month as well, so I can use them as my desktop wallpaper. :D
Well, have the game month, but also have the real Earth month as well. Dual purpose calendars and all that. :D
I like it! I like it a lot! My only preference is to have the calendars on the right hand side of the image, and at least 25 pixels or so from its edge. They look awesome - I wanna use them right away! :D

Making them at least 25 pixels away from the edge is simple enough (it looks like they were at 23-24 as is), as for the both on right side, what configuration would you prefer? Stacked one on top of the other right up against the right side, or along the bottom but in the right corner? I assume the first one, but unfortunately that kind of covers up the picture. Hmmm. Could make the parchment a bit transparent I suppose. Or flip the picture.

I like it, What about putting the real month in the upper right corner, just like the pathfinder month is in the lower right? I think that the positions of the parchments might have to be different for each month, but I agree that both should be on the right, as all of my icons are on the left side. Looks really good though!
Beautiful! Two tentacles up!

Alright, I'll go with a calender in each right corner (Upper Right and Lower Right) for the time being.
Now I just need to find some good background pictures for each month. I like this one for Abadius, as it's at a Bank of Abadar and the opening of the vault kind of symbolizes opening a 'new year'? Ok, kind of. Any ideas for other months? I'm still looking.

Many of the months are names after gods - look for pics on the gods that have write-ups and also have months named after them (I know theres at least one more)

Yeah, I was thinking about the names of the Gods as well, but there are a lot of pictures to choose from and some might be more appropriate for the THEME of the God then a picture involving the actual God him/herself.
Here's my semi-final (probably final unless I think of something else) version of Abadius. Added little circles for new and full moons too. Left the picture mirrored, I kind of like that the open vault is on the right side near the calendars. Seems to work better with being a desktop wallpaper too.

I'm wondering about the layout of the calendars now, actually. Week-wise at least. The Golarian calendar appears to start on Moonday and end on Sunday. MOST of our calendars start on Sunday and end on Saturday, but I have seen some that started on Monday and ended on Sunday.
What way would people prefer I have the calendars organized? It seems a bit odd to have our calendar be one way and Golarian's be another, but if people are comfortable with it then I suppose that works.
