Due to the amazing number of entries last week, this week's poll is a Top 20! My sincere apologies to all those who missed out - I'd love to put you all through to the vote, but I had to draw the line somewhere! I know how much work some of you put into your entries, and I'm very sorry if you didn't make it into the poll!

I tried to make my decisions primarily on how professional each magazine cover was done, ie whether I felt that it looked like it could be a real magazine or not! In addition, I awarded points for pure ingenuity or funny ideas.

If anyone would like to know why their entry in particular didn't make the poll, go ahead and ask and I'll happily give you my reasons.

Now, on with the vote!

 

[ZEROX]

Just like i thought. Mine wouldn't make it. Which is good. I'm battling with the pro!
All are perfect. But my vote goes to 'Throttle mag. Pretty much real to me.
So to the Evo.

Let me guess about me: The logo and the font usage where the main problems with mine?

For the rest there are a couple of entries I would've picked different, but I wasnt the judge and everyone has a different opinion, so I'm fine.

Will have to have a better look when I get back home before I vote.

 

[The Bman]

I voted for THROTTLE.

(Makes a million dollar bet that "He is a She" or "Playboy" will win... or the cliche F40 on Toscana...)

Haha yes, I think you may have overused that font a touch, mix it up a bit, it's not bad for headlines or magazine logos, but at smaller point sizes it loses legibility.
It certainly wasn't a bad entry though, just there were *heaps* of really good ones this week!

 

[Muzaffar]

The car magazine theme sure looks really nice, I really wish I could have entered...
A lot of good entries this week, and some are just more cheeky than others. But my vote went to the Hypercar magazine. Certainly it does stand out a lot more than the other magazines, and I really do like it honestly! 👍

 

[TheCracker]

Some good efforts here 👍

Liked the Throttle one best. Great picture and solid magazine design too. 👍 👍

(would have liked to see a little bit more transparency in the grey blocks behind the text, but that's just personal choice)

 

[ThaSyn]

Choosing one was very hard. Every entry is good in its own way

 

[Raphaele]

I love the vintage covers. Pretty ideas and very stylish. Nice competition at all. Thanks to Revo I think we all have a lot of fun with this theme...
I regret that some entries do not have a single vote until now. They all are excellent in my eyes and deserve at least one vote.

I call the bottom picture out as blatant cheatery! Very distracting

I sense there's a refrence (sp? ) to something taboo under AUP there.

 

[tonilleshusband]

7 votes. I'm flattered. I look at mine and I see flaw after flaw. Cheers to all - fun theme, great entries.

 

[gtuned]

Damn. 2 votes.. Thought i did better but, whatever.

 

[tonilleshusband]

Damn. 2 votes.. Thought i did better but, whatever.

If it's any consolation I think yours deserved more. Nice work - there's always next week.

Glad to see there are as many evo fans as there are.

Congratulations to jonjwlee! His excellent Throttle magazine cover has convincingly won the poll, and I also chose it as the Judge's Choice winner because of the stunning photography, nicely done typography and the whole look and feel of it, something which would truly be at home on a news stand. Well done, and congratulations!

New theme up after the weekend!

 

[Dazza-On-Toast]

Well done jonjwlee.

Thanks for everyone who voted for mine - jonjwlee was too strong!

 

[MetalBeerSolid]

Well done jonjwlee.

Thanks for everyone who voted for mine - jonjwlee was too strong!

That's the best shot of the F40 I've ever seen.

 

[aidan8500]

[Raphaele]

Congratulations to jonjwlee:
You are a dignified winner.
Great cover artwork!

 

[jonjwlee]

Wow, this is great - my first GTP Photomode competition win!

Thanks for the votes, guys, and Revolution for the Judge's Choice! To be honest, when I finished this I did have an inkling that I was gonna win this, but then I looked at all the great entries this week and my chances suddenly seemed a bit shaky.

Good luck for next week, and thanks again!

 

[zambuca]

Congrats jonjwlee! 👍

Great design and photography! And a nice detail the way you have masked the cars. (I voted for you too)
