[COLOR=silver]-[/COLOR]
[]Try to make the magazine cover look realistic. Most magazines contain a title, some graphics, some text such as issue number, address label, etc.
[COLOR=silver]-[/COLOR]
[]While many have diverse magazine tastes, for this contest, keep the content appropriate for the audience. Refrain from using offensive, sexual, political, controversial, or inflammatory topics in your magazine cover.

[]You can upload the magazine to the forums by using the forum’s built-in Imageshack attach feature, or you can attach your image manually by visiting http://www.imageshack.us (or your favorite online image host).

I thought about that, but in the past few years, I don’t think more than a handful of those who signed up from this site made Rebbot in time anyway. So I figured, I would help people’s egos by providing a task that is actually doable before May 1st.

That’s my excuse and I am sticking to it :cowbell:
