Creating your mini-magazine
I have been receiving quite a few messages and emails asking me for tips on how to create a mini-magazine for this year’s Star NiE Mag Inc. 2010 competition. For the reason that I cannot answer every single person, I have promised to write a blog entry specially on this to give some tips from my experience last year. Hopefully, this would help those who are interested in creating your NiE magazine.
Magazine template
Designs printed on A3 paper.
Firstly, by now, every group should have their NiE template(s). By what I saw last year, you can design your magazine layout on computer (like how out team did with Adobe photoshop), printed on A3 paper and glued onto the template, draw by hand. Any method is fine as long as you do it within the borders provided and submit the whole template at the end of the day.

I apologize if the final product looks very similar to the original but when you are used to it, steps can be omitted or changed depending on the colors of the photo you are using to suit your style and likings as the steps in coloring photos are pretty much the same.
