Latest Contest:   The ID Magazine Challenge
Since the advent of printed words men have strived to promote their ideas in written form.
It is hard to tell when the first magazine was ever published. Some say the "magazines of the world" timeline began in March 1672 with the publication of the French intellectual journal Mercure Galant (later known as Mercure de France). Established in Paris by Jean Donneau de Vise. Others say "it was later than that as the term 'magazine' was first employed to signify a periodical miscellany by Edward Cave, who as 'Sylvanus Urban, Gent', started the Gentleman's Magazine, the first to use the word in its title, in January 1731 (Source The New Shell Book of Firsts).
Whichever is true the fact of the matter is magazines are here to stay and they are the epitome of propagation of written and visual ideas and messages. Unlike TV media you can pick one up and browse thru and save and browse again and cut images out and highlight your favorite text and passages.
Now with the age of computer and graphics the publishing of magazines has become a daily routine.
We now challenge you to create your own magazine cover.
1 - Any title you wish
2 - Any theme you wish. From the family oriented to the naughty and sexy. Our rules are  'freedom of expression' period.
3 - Any layout you chose.
4 - Avoid plagiarisms as much as possible. Be creative and do your own stuff.

Past Contests:   The Aphrodite Contest

In Greek mythology, Aphrodite is the goddess of love, beauty and sexual rapture. According to Hesiod, she was born when Uranus (the father of the gods) was castrated by his son Cronus. Cronus threw the severed genitals into the ocean which began to churn and foam about them. From the aphros ("sea foam") arose Aphrodite, and the sea carried her to either Cyprus or Cythera. Hence she is often referred to as Kypris and Cytherea. Homer calls her a daughter of Zeus and Dione.

Here at Illusions-Designs we pride ourselves in creating the most beautiful Poser characters on the internet.  Now we’re giving you a chance to show us who is your modern day Aphrodite.  What does your Goddess of Love, Beauty and Sexual Rapture look like?
