Yesterday, I posted about the software U.R.Celeb, which allowed people to create personalized covers of popular magazines. Later on, I found a website that can do the same thing.
Magmypic is sort of a combination of magazinize (is that even a word?) my picture. The site is pretty straightforward. Upload picture = magazine cover. Actually, it’s a bit more than that but it’s still easy to do.
The process begins when you upload a picture, in any of the standard image formats. The next step allows you to select which magazine you want to use. There are magazines like Time, National Geographic, People, Vogue, etc. Once this is done, you can choose the size of your magazine cover.
In the last step, you can download the creation to your computer. In addition, you can also post it on a variety of sites such as Myspace, Facebook, iGoogle, WordPress, etc. To give you an example, here’s a cover I created.
There are a few drawbacks though. For one, the picture you choose for the cover can get resized weirdly. My original picture was of the complete bike, not just the part you see. Secondly, you cannot change any of the text on the cover. Lastly, the cover has a Magmypic watermark on it. However, this is not that big a deal.
I prefer this to U.R.Celeb largely because everything is done via a website so I don’t have to bother about installing anything. What about you? Will you give this website a try? Do you know of any similar websites?

A very interesting article. Have always wondered what one of my office colleagues would look like on the cover of Vouge or something else :-) Still this probably could be done with any decent image editing software providing you with more options

MUCH better “make your own magazine cover” (and several other fun things too!) can be found at Bighugelabs.com. This tool is entirely webbased, easy to use, and you either upload a photo or choose one from Flickr (interface with Flickr and similar image-hosting sites is slick as a whistle). You write all of your own text, too.
Here’s my two magazine covers, which also link to several others:
