Firstly, thank you to Corinne @corinnec who hosted the last round of the Not-for-People Magazine Cover challenge. Thanks also to all those who entered covers in the challenge. And many thanks to everyone who voted for my cover.
I’m very excited to have won the last round of this challenge. It was the first time I’ve entered and it was so much fun to create something a bit different. After coming up with my idea I did a bit of Googling to get some inspiration on what magazine covers actually look like. I’d encourage everyone to have a go and submit an entry, which leads me onto the challenge itself…
Do you want to participate in something fun and creative?
The Not-For-People Magazine Cover challenge is for you!
Create a magazine cover to engage a very unusual audience – something OTHER than people. Pretend your audience can read, and you must tempt them to get between the pages.
Decide on your audience and create your cover from one of your pictures. Make sure your audience is obvious! Imagination is the key. The possibilities are endless... You may prefer fantasy, but you can use inanimate objects if you like: the dwarves or elves from Lord of the Rings, the monkeys from the Jungle Book, the rabbits in the warren from Watership Down, the dragons of Pern, space aliens, or sweaters with fibres that pill! Draw inspiration from your books, movies, TV shows, or dreams. If you have a beautiful slick magazine lying around, use their cover teasers to warp and twist YOUR teasers to fit your audience.
1. Use standard LETTER SIZE or PORTRAIT format - NOT landscape or square please.
2. Use one of your photos for the cover.
3. Create a title for your magazine cover that's inclusive of your chosen audience.
4. Write your teaser headlines to draw in your specific audience. The more teasers you can create - the better! Make them funny or make them daring.
5. Make sure your audience is obvious at a glance! Is it fairies, trolls, ghouls, aliens, gnomes or beds that talk back to you? Be specific.
This challenge will run from 11 March 2022 to 15 April 2022.
