Your cover should include the title of your magazine, a subtitle highlighting your feature story, and a cover photo. &nbsp;You might also want to include additional features like small titles and pictures from various articles in your magazine, but it is entirely up to you how simple or elaborate you want your cover to be. All text and art content should be of your own creation, we want wholly original designs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\">The purpose of the Graphic Design Contest is to encourage users to produce professional Graphics by combining various PicsArt tools such as editing effects, drawing, text and clipart. Graphics should stand out and send a clear message. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\">Most importantly, make sure that you design a cover that jumps off the shelves and gets readers itching to flip through the pages of your magazine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\">All graphic design works should be created using the PicsArt photo editing and drawing tools. The Graphic Design contest is announced every Monday morning (PST). You will be given four days to create your own unique graphics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\"><strong>To Participate<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\">You can only submit a maximum of two cover designs to the Contest. To enter, tag the designed covers as #GDcover or submit them in the &lsquo;Contest&rsquo; section.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\">All entries must be submitted by Wednesday at midnight San Francisco time. Voting is then extended an extra day and continues until midnight on Thursday. This gives late submissions a full extra day to collect votes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\"><strong>NOTE: All GD contests will be launched every Monday.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\"><strong id=\"winners\">Selecting the Winners<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\">You can vote for your favorite designs in the &ldquo;Contests&rdquo; section of the app or by visiting the &ldquo;Contests&rdquo; section on our web.
