I'm interested in making a magazine for the rockstar game.
I'll be doing a try out and I'll see how people react to it.
I may need some help with the images thing but I'll try it and see how it goes.

Also if you guys have any suggestions for magazine title's, that would be great, it's for all genre's.

It's good but i'm having difficulty making a front cover because I'm not very good at that kind of thing.
I don't have photoshop so it's difficult to cut out images to make it look realistic.

Just get a font of cooltext.com, put together some images on PowerPoint and then paste the title on. It's a bit cheapskate, but it works.

There should be options near the bottom that allow for enlarging.

Here's my pilot cover for "The Rockstar" for some ideas (as you can see, it was carved on a stone tablet) -

What you need is GIMP, a photoshop style Image Manipulator program, its not as good, but it's free...

Also you could make use of the publishing program Scribus. It's also free and not superb, but it beats the hell out of paying 800 notes for Adobe InDesign, and it's pretty good for making covers and page mock ups.

I used both these programs to knock up this mock cover for a travel magazine, for a university project last semester, very easy to do.

Gimp is okay, but it sucks compared to PAINT.NET. Its also free, and I have used it for every album cover I have done since the game re-launched. If you want something almost as good as Photoshop, get paint, and with the free add ons that the users have made for it, its almost as good as PS.
