Personalized magazine
I am not sure if this is where to post this, but figured this is the best spot. I had someone contact me asking if I could make a personalized mag her boyfriend. I'm happy to do it! I just don't know where to even get something like that done at. Basically she wants something similar to playboy but of course nothing but photos of her in different outfits. She wants the cover shot of course, fake articles, centerfold.. Jan 30 13 10:37 pm Link Im not sure what you are asking. Are you wondering about the actual print process, or is it gong to be just a pdf document of a Playboylike mag. Or are you wondering about how to create the pages or are you .... ? The more specific you are the more detailed answers I think. Jan 31 13 01:07 am Link You will probably have to go through an album company that offers soft cover books like magazines. Many magazine printers will want quantity ordered. I know they offer soft cover- http://www.bayphoto.com/ http://www.millerslab.com/softcoverbooks I think you can by singles through lulu.com but the other two above will be a better quality.

Fake articles etc. I guess her boyfriend collects everything from SI to playboy's. She thought it would be something fun he can own.

That is 20 sheets of 11x17, 4/4, folded, saddle stitched and finish trim (of course with the finish trim and if they can run full bleed it may end up slightly smaller than 8.5x11). I would recommend at least 80lb gloss text, possibly even 100lb gloss text. Jan 31 13 02:49 pm Link UltimateAppeal wrote: I think that is the way to go, pretty easy to make cover graphics. I would do it as a parody like Playdude or Maxxism to keep from running afoul of trademark issues. Jan 31 13 06:31 pm Link Mask Photo wrote: That. Jan 31 13 07:32 pm Link Thanks for the tips everyone. I think I'm going to do the cover, a fake sports article, a picture set or her in lingerie, a page for jokes, centerfold, another fake article then another set of pictures towards the back. I'll make it like 80 pages, but roughly 75% of them will be blank. To do a complete cover to cover would be insane. Feb 01 13 06:47 pm Link try magcloud.com you can create a mag and print one or many copies for like $20 or so depending on page count (ofcourse she doesnt have to know what you paid) Feb 01 13 07:03 pm Link |
