Voting on Covers. Gogogogo!

VOTING IS NOW CLOSED, SORRY! GO CHECK OUT THE POST ABOVE FOR THE RESULTS :)

Right. Photoshop froze on me again and destroyed two and a half of the covers I was working on. But I realized there were already 7 possibles. And honestly I think the ones I haven't laid my grubby hands on look better. So I will stop goading photoshop and leave them just how they are.

I might change things slightly when the cover is decided on--for instance make the font bigger or a different color because it's not showing up well, but as of now I just want to decide on a cover. I'll fix the little details later.

So it's up to you guys to vote and decide what cover you want. (no pressure). It's only the first thing everyone sees before they read anything inside. NO PRESSURE AT ALL :p

Things to keep in mind when you vote:

1) If the cover is eyecatching or prettiful or MAKES YOU WANT TO READ THE STUFF INSIDE. That's the cover we want.

2) This is prolly not as important--but if the cover fits in with the theme of "Imagine". Imagination.

3) But mostly pick the prettiest one, okay?

UPDATE: I have added in a new cover! If you want the cover below, you must vote in the comments since I can't change the poll options.

Clean photos I haven't messed with, all submitted by lovely lovely lovely photographers/artists :)

COVER #1

COVER #2

COVER #3

COVER #4

Photos I have altered, probably for the worse.

Wow, um. I don't know what I was trying to do here. Make it seem like a statue was coming to life.

COVER #5

This I dunno about this either. I mean, colored fountain as "imagination"? Lol. This was the one I was halfway through with when photoshop froze on me.

COVER #6

I was trying to fit in with the "imagine" theme here. With..um, like a portal from an archway to modern times. But yeah...o.0. I dunno...Also, this is the only cover made entirely by stock photos, not by something submitted.

COVER #7

NOTE: The clean version of all the photo-covers not picked are going into the magazine anyways, since they're AWESOME photos.

The two covers I was working on that got lost:
1) Picture of fall trees by lake with the reflection being a castle instead of...trees. (stock photos) REDONE AND ADDED INTO THE VOTING SELECTION :)
2) The transformation of a ancient temple into a skyscraper. (stockphotos)
sighsighsigh.

ANYWAYS VOTE OR ELSE I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN TO VOTE.

POLL ON THE RIGHT HAND CORNER. GOGOGOGO!

Photos wanted!

Attn: teen photographers! Or writers who dabble in photography :D

I'd love to have more photos submitted.

They can either be photo submissions on a topic of your choice--as long as they're high quality photos. And I'm still considering the cover, so a photo submitted *may* go on the front cover of the magazine!

It'd also be beyond awesome if there were photo submissions of the following, since they go along with the short stories appearing in the next issue:

1. A teenage girl dancing ballet
2. A boy and girl kissing/close together under a peach tree/some sort of tree at twilight/nighttime.
3. Something that encompasses "Endeavor"
4. The theme of love
5. Sky at night
6. Nature pictures
7. Girl in a dress
8. Park and bench with young boy on it.

But those are just pictures that would go along with the stories/poetry.

I'd love to see submissions on just about anything too--be creative!

Email in JPEG or TIFF format to imagineliterarymagazine@gmail.com, with your name, age, and city or state of residence. See the submissions guidelines in the posts below for more detailed instructions.

Thanks!

Get your submissions in soon!

I've already started designing the magazine and hope for it to be done by the end of this week. That means you need to submit as soon as possible if you have any short stories, poems, artwork, or photos that you'd like to be published.

Thanks!
