Motif Photo Calendars
What it is
Motif Photo Calendars lets users create printed wall calendars using their own photos, with personalized dates and layouts. Calendars can run from 12 to 24 months, with a selected starting year, month, and weekday, plus colors, themes, and patterns. Date boxes can hold text and photos for birthdays, anniversaries, and other special dates, and the layout grid adjusts for collages. On Mac, users can start by selecting photos in Apple Photos and choosing the Motif calendar option. Calendar creation is also supported in the iPhone and iPad apps. The calendar page lists support for 12 languages and national holidays for 30 countries. Each printed calendar measures 13” x 10” and uses paper with a silky-smooth finish and silver Wire-o binding. The photo app is free to download, while printed calendars are separately priced: the 12-month base calendar costs $29.99 one-time, with each additional month costing $1.99. Tax and shipping are excluded. Shared Projects lets others view and order a finished calendar, and Motif says it will reprint or refund a project if the customer is unhappy.
