Being a newbie here: How often do this kind of contests take place? Excellent idea by the way! I was more attracted by the web design so far but I gave it a try šŸ™‚ Maybe Iā€™ll be able to send in more than just one šŸ™‚ Itā€™s all a matter of timeā€¦ ---

I just want to make a note about using other ppls artwork. While I donā€™t think it can be avoided obviouslyā€¦ I personally will be judging it heavily on whether you relied to heavily on someone elseā€™s artwork, w/o much reguard to the layout, to make your cover good. Not sure about the other mods but thatā€™s definately something to take into consideration. ---

I was previewing some of the other entries and I noticed a lot of copyright images being usedā€¦Iā€™m guessing this is not a problem? In other words, it doesnā€™t matter if we use copyrighted or material that is really not ours on the covers? Iā€™m totally cool with it, though Iā€™m most probably going to do it all on my own. Havenā€™t had much time to get around to it quite yet, but Iā€™ll post mine soonā€¦probably this weekend or so. lata [Previous page](https://forum.kirupa.com/t/magazine-cover-design-contest/184721.md?page=2)
