Creating Your Own Personalized Dog Magazine Cover

By Bernice Terry


There are a lot of people who love their pets like family. If your friend is an animal lover, then he or she will certainly appreciate a personalized dog magazine cover. These covers can bring good memories and will certainly be a good conversation starter. Here are some of the considerations if you want to give your friend such a gift.

Images of the pet and your friend will have to be obtained. You will need good photos of the two. This will be an easy job if your friend posts a lot of photos in a social media sites. If not, then you will have to find another way. You might want to ask help from your other friends or his family members.

Decide which of these photos will be used for the piece. Make sure that these shots make them look appealing so that the recipient will feel comfortable about displaying it. Additionally, the resolution should allow you to resize the photo without compromising its quality.

Come up with a name for the so called publication. You can use similar sounding names to popular publications or you could create one of your own. Writing the headlines, which can be a real challenge. Think of the dogs well known qualities or the fondest memories of the owner. A bit of humor would be appreciated.

The colors that you choose should be complimentary to each other. Make sure that the colors in the image that you will be using will coordinate with the text and the background. You could choose single color for your background or utilize a pattern. As for the text, you have to decide how large it should be and what font style should be used.

Choose a frame that will show off the artwork you have created. You could go for something made of wood so that it can easily fit in anywhere. If you want a modern look, then silver ones, black or white frames may be just the thing you are looking for. Decide on this carefully as this completes the look of the object.

There are businesses that can do all the work for you. If you do not have the time nor the skills but are willing to part with some of your money, then hire a professional. Look for someone who has been in the industry for many years but charges affordable rates. Check what kind of options are being offered. Shop around so you can make an informed decision.

Then again, if you have the technical background and the tools, you can always take on this challenge. Be creative as you can be but make sure to keep things simple. This will save you a lot of time and minimize problems. Make sure that you have enough time for finishing this project.

A personalized dog magazine cover can be given to anyone who is an animal lover. Just get a photo of the animal or of the owner and his pet and work it into a layout. Designate a name for the pretend publication and come up with headlines. You could hire a professional to do this for you or you could do the art on your own.
