Generating A 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.

You will need photos of the animal and its owner. This is in fact one of the major elements of the piece that you will be creating. Obtaining photos is so much easier if you and your friend are both members of social media sites. Otherwise, you will have to hunt for pictures without his knowledge. Get the cooperation of his family or other friends to pull this off.

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.

One of the first things the viewer will see would be the name of the paper and the headlines you have created. You could use the name of a very well known publication or you could be original and think of something yourself. The headline should be about the pet. It will do no harm to inject some humor into these headlines.

Remember, the image will be rich in hues. The background and the color of the text will have to compliment the image. You can choose a single color for the background or you can go with a pattern. You will also have to plan how large the letters should be and what font to use.

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.

You can get the help of professionals for creating this piece. Of course, you will have to pay for the service so make sure to contact several of these businesses. Compare the rates and ask them about their experience. Take a look at their past work to get an idea of what their style is like.

If you have the skill and the equipment, then you can do this project on your own. This is the time to get your creative juices flowing. Be sure to keep it simple though so you do not run into issues. Consider if you will be able to finish the project in time of the occasion.

A personalized dog magazine cover can be a good gift for a friend who truly loves his pet. You can use pictures of them and make headlines to portray how special the dog is. Choose coordinating colors and come up with a good layout.
