COVERAMA VOL. 5 - MAGAZINE COVERS

This contest is called "Coverama" because the focus will be on creating a cover design of some sort each round. We won't just be doing comic covers either, but also DVD covers, magazine covers, book covers, CD covers, posters, video game covers and anything else we might come up with.

Here is how it is going to work (for this round anyway):
- Based on a theme, participants will design a magazine cover, submit it to me, and then members will vote on the cover they like the most.

Theme: I am leaving this completely up to you. I will provide a few guidelines, but other than that, you can craft your cover based on anything Whedonverse related. You can make your own Buffy or Angel fan magazine, or even a magazine set inside one of the various universes that highlight events going on.

Rules:

• Covers can feature as many characters as needed to get your point/theme across.
  
• Your magazine must have A UNIQUE TITLE. You can't use "People" or "Time" but it is perfectly fine if you want to mirror a certain magazine, just come up with your own title.
  
• Covers MUST HAVE a title, month and issue/volume number, and AT LEAST 2 headlines highlighting articles inside the magazine IN ADDITION TO the cover story. So 3 stories altogether.
  
• If you don't want to use screen caps or comic art, original/hand drawn art is allowed!
  
• There is no size requirement for the covers, since the voting thread will have thumbnails that you will click on to see the actual size of each cover. But the bigger the better as long as quality isn't sacrificed.
  
• Only one submission per member.
  

Also, if you want to download and use the BUFFY and ANGEL fonts for your covers, click HERE for the Buffy font, and HERE for the Angel font.

PLEASE SUBMIT A COVER TO WYNDAM BY SEPTEMBER 20 @ 11:59 p.m. EST. VOTING WILL START ON SEPTEMBER 21.

Enjoy! Remember to read the rules carefully!

Hrm, I think I have a good idea brewing for this one! Just depends on whether I have the time to do it!

[Midnight Butterfly]

YAY!! I have been really looking forward to the magazines. I took two years of media studies and created a magazine for my coursework, so finally something I have a chance at

The cover story is the main story in your magazine, most of the time your cover image relates to your cover story.
For example, the cover story below is "NIKKI At last - she answers ALL your questions" and the cover image is Nikki.

I'm still thinking about trying this if I get time, although I'm leaving it kinda last minute-y. I have a good idea, just not sure if I can be bothered actually doing it!

[Skytteflickan88]

I hate school. I think I have a good concept, but I have no time to make it look good.
