Can’t the Entry be posted has a Preview, linked to the Original enlarged one?. It is so much easy and it looks better than thumbnails.
 
Joey, the 'barcode' link ain't working for me.

Also, wasn't there a tutorial on how to make a magazine cover somewhere? I 'm pretty sure there was one. I believe made by Vicious VP way back.
It would be very useful to have in a link, many people would surely enter the comp if they saw it.


edit: nevermind, just found it!

Click here, people! (Joey, add it to the 1st post, please). Thanks, buddy. 👍
 
Nice to see the tutotrial. You was just in time, I forgot the aspect ratios, but taking a look to my collection I'm going to use a different size than he adviced. There are a lot of different papers for mags really.

I've started working, so hope to enter my 1st issue pretty soon :D

Awesome, can't wait to see what you come up with. 👍

I have very limited imagination for this kind of things, but I'll give it a try too...
 
Sounds like a fun comp, but I don't have the skills to be competitive with this one. I look forward to seeing how this works out.
 
Man I can't wait to get started on this!

EDIT: Can we add in real cars or does it all have to be from GT4 & TT? Also, can we place car/bikes on real backgrounds?
 
Final entry :)



I wanted to inspire my mag in an old idea, a printable version of my unactive blog. So I used the theme "amateur racing" using a popular car in amateur trackdays. We'll see if I continue using the autoD&M idea in next rounds.

Alex is going to overkill in this comp, since he is so good in making pres panel. Making mag cover is just another way to show his talent ;) Maybe Moglet should step in for this fun competition, so that he can show off what he has learned in school.

I thought about this and it could go either way, my thoughts are that as long as you keep real pictures to a minimum I see no problem with it.

Is using programs allowed? Just like U.R Celeb?

Ehhh that seems like cheating but if you want to give it a go you are more then welcome to. Just be warned people might not take kindly to it though.

Joey, the 'barcode' link ain't working for me.

Barcode thing should be fixed, it's working for me now and I'll add the link.
 
Yeah the bar code link still ain't working, i get linked to a pic of some headphones that tells me to go to artificialvision.com.

I wouldn't worry about it though, a image search on Google turned up alot of good pictures.
 
Oh hell, why does it work for me? Maybe there is a cookie on my computer or something. Either way I just linked it to a Google page.
 
I started last night. Spent hours coming up with a mag name and wrote it on a piece of paper.
Then I was tired and went to sleep.

Now all I need is to make the whole image on photoshop... :rolleyes:
 
'Track gear' FTW!:lol:, Nice one speed:tup:

Great entry too alex:tup:I'd give this a go but im without photoshop (again), this is such a cool comp:tup:

thanks

Tommi:)
 
Speed...where can I buy track gear?! :lol:

Good job mate...same to U Alex:tup:
 
Nice entries so far, I'll be working on mine tonight...yes I thought I'd fire the PS2 back up for a shot at this. I need something to do while at work :lol:.

Anyways I'm not going to have this like a photomode competition where only the 10 entries are picked. As long as there is room in the poll I will add everyone's entry.
 
Both great works so far! 👍

And I think it's great to have a poll with everyone. After all, it's a 2-week comp and many people will 'waste' a lot of time doing a mag cover for this, so it's only fair that everyone's work is shown.

My cover is starting to look like a mag cover already. The only problem is that I'd never buy it. :D
 
Haha, you'd buy it if you like, Beerzgood. I've printed my cover today in a high quality paper and it looks very cool just for 55 eurocent. Shamely I don't have a digital camera here, I'd take a photo of it in real live hehe.

No way I am a magazine god. There are easy$, vicious vp and Mr.toad kicking my butt in the old time. Including 440 as well :indiff:
 
I'm in! I haven't done any GT4 related pictures for a while or even played GT4 so this will be good excuse to play again.

I just seen the poll on whether to bring this back and couldn't wait!

Then I went back to the photo comps page and Here it is!

This should be fun!

Also just to be sure can we call the magazine anything we like?
