Cewe Photoworld offers a
broad range of calendars with
high quality templates and a
choice of design programs. An
A2 and XXL panoramic calendar
complements the usual A5, A4
and A3 sizes. There are also a
couple of square, kitchen and
desk options too, as well as
an appointments calendar with
large date boxes.
The online design software
is easiest to use, as it’s clearly
laid out with a logical path to
follow, allowing you to alter
the template, page layout,
number of pictures and colour
background. To this basic set-
up you can add some clip art
from Cewe’s huge collection of
illustrations and place a text box
wherever you like. Alternatively,
you can download the software
for greater creative control at the
expense of greater complexity.
Cewe offers 36 crisp and

Photobox errs more towards

creating a fun and personal

gift for a relative than a fine

art calendar for sale to loyal

customers. This is chiefly

down to the array of patterned

and textured backgrounds to

choose from as much as the

ability to click into any date,

when designing the calendar,

to add a photo and message

or reminder. This feature is

easy to use and enhances the

personal side of the calendar

no end – it costs £3 extra and

you can add as many Photo

Days as you want. Although

the pattern backgrounds lack

sophistication they are fun

and it’s always possible to

select a single colour instead.

The typeface and layout is

appealingly modern and there

are tools for adding text and

image blocks to customise the

visual area of the design.

The Classic paper is 250gsm

with a satin finish but it’s

possible to upgrade to a matt

or gloss paper and even a

300gsm photographic paper

for a little more money.

The 100% satisfaction

guarantee Cewe promises is

reassuring, as you can return the

calendar if you’re unhappy with

it for an exchange or refund.

The range of calendars is

pretty comprehensive with two

desk calendars, a slim kitchen

calendar, a 30 x 30cm square

design and the usual A3 and

A4 calendars in the collection.

Photobox often runs

significant discounts on its

products and you can also

save money by purchasing

more than one calendar at a

time, with even greater savings

when you buy more than five.
