LC200 Visual Comparison Chart

[pf graham]

This might seem crazy, but you can actually create huuuge custom “page” sizes in Microsoft Word...and do all sorts of crazy layouts if you make photos free-moving.
You could then create a PDF, and while it would end up being a substantial file size...the photos would maintain far more detail so that when zoomed, the detail would remain.

I’ve done this in a pinch many times over the years and even done entire publication starting with such methods. It’s not what a pro would do...and seems primitive...but it works.

Screwy thing is, I am a professional - I'm using InDesign. The original size of the ID chart is around 8MB as a pdf. The assembled (or packaged) ID file is about 50MB.

The thing is, I would love to make this as a live chart - I'm looking...

Thanks for the input.

'08-'11 are the same in regards to the critera in the chart.
'13-'15 are the same in regards to the critera in the chart.
Consolidate those and that will make the chart smaller.

good call. 16-17 is the same and 18-19 is the same as far as options.

I think this chart, at least for me particularly, is also a guide to the visual changes - for example, the hood 2008 is very different then the hood of the 2011.

Lights change almost every year as the technology changes.

Anyway, thanks for the suggestion.

Nope.

The '08-'15 hood is the same. (53301-60591)
The '08-'11 headlights and taillights are the same. (81130-60D33 / 81591-60230)
The '13-'15 headlights and taillights are the same. (81185-60F50 / 81551-60A90)

Edit: Those are only one headlight and one taillight P/Ns just for reference.

Thoughts on making it into a website/html document vs a static PDF? Pictures could be clicked for enlargement and it could be interactive.

Exactly what I was thinking - plus, it could look like this:

Just a rough idea.
