| Magazine cover photos should probably be shot in vertical orientation with space in the image for a magazine title... |

| I don't like the issue of making the magazine name the title of the photograph. The only reason I don't like that is that I like to be creative with my titles and if I should shoot something that I want to make a print available of, I don't wanna be stuck with some generic magazine title on that print... |

Unless the magazine chooses to seperate the title from the image, which most of the (admitedly very poor) magazines on my desk seem to.

Well, that is true..
However, there must be magazines in other parts of the world I don't even know about.. so.. (shrug)
Just have fun with a magazine cover. Everyone is so keyed up every week with the true meaning of things, and whether they will vote things down. |

Artists thru the ages have been known to re-title their work from time to time. Nothing wrong with renaming it to sell as a print.

So, you upload it again into your portfolio with a different name.

I'm not sure, but if you print your picture and staple it to an essay, then you've created a new magazine and are free to name it anything you want :)

I'm tending to disagree with this, though I do expect people to vote this way. As an example:
before:
after:

I agree with John about the title thing. Perhaps we could be allowed to change the title afterwards, or maybe even have an extra field on the form. The problem with uploading it to the profil under a different name is that the "PRINT AVAILABLE!" thing under the photo won't show up.

The problem is, when it was submited without all the text and cropped, I got several comments saying that the voter couldn't see it as a magazine cover, or it was the wrong ratio, or it would never be used because of x,y,z reasons. Voting is going to be odd/ interesting for 'magazine cover' I suspect. |

The challenge guidelines say nothing about extra rules for text on the image. Did I miss something? I hope we can do magazine "mock-ups" with full text and graphics. GeneralE or any other site council members/admins, please clarify. Sorry, I must be a little slow.
Thanx,
Owen

No text, no cover mockups. The General was simply illustrating a previous work of his and how it could be used.

not trying to split hairs here, but rather trying to understand the extent of the rules...
What if I were to take a picture of something, say a car, and layout a fake magazine cover around it (magazine title, article titles, all the typical stuff found on magazine covers). The initial picture of the car would not be edited in ways that violate DPC rules. The layout would be done electronically (photoshop, Illustrator, etc.). I would then print out that mock-up cover. Finally, I would stage the photograph (setting, background, lighting, etc.) which I would submit for the challenge.
If necessary, I could provide the initial photo of the car along with my submission to show that it was not edited in any way that violates the rules.
Thoughts?

Why not just submit the photo as the challenge asks and leave the magazine layout for your own portfolio?

Indeed. If you're the only entry covered with text then you'll become an awfully big juicy target for the voters! ; )

On the question of obscure magazines: My first idea was for a niche mag that probably few would know about. My thought was to include the URL for the magazines web site in the title. For example (and this isn't the one I'm thinking of): "Time - www.time.com". This might also help with John's concern, say for example "Time: Man of the Year". You're still stuck with the name of the mag in your title, but it still leaves you the room to add your own creative touch.
This doesn't technically match the wording in the description: "The title of the photograph should BE the name of your magazine." But it seems to get to the spirit, which is to be able to identify what magazine you'ld be intending the picture to be for. Does this seem acceptable? |
