Make a birthday magazine. Do-it-yourself glossy magazine: an original gift for the director. Why me

Wonderful magazine!!! All pages are thick and glossy. The colors are bright and the photographs are clear. Lead times and delivery are fast. The price is low. The texts are well composed (my correction was the minimum that I did not expect at all): no stupidity or vulgarity, everything is subtle, ironic, humorous, without grandiloquent platitudes and at the same time without familiarity. Everything pleased! We beat the white back of the first page, because of which we were worried, with our opening speech, and left the last one for the congratulations of friends. Thank you so much for the wonderful gift to our son!

Hello! I ordered a glossy magazine for a friend on the DR. The program is convenient, understandable ... there were some difficulties with its installation and use, but in the chat, technical specialists. services patiently answered my questions ... thanks to them for that. They promised to work on the issue so that it would be possible to use the program on-line from abroad ... The magazine was quickly put into delivery. In general, I am 100% satisfied with the service. Now about quality. All photos and pictures are bright and beautiful, everything is fastened perfectly. One BUT, when I was deciding on a gift, I asked if this magazine would feel like a real glossy magazine. To which I received a positive response. Which I really hoped for.

The hero of the issue can be either one person, or the whole family, or the team of the company.

In any case, the hero of the occasion will receive a really cool unique gift!

Yesterday we published an amazing report about the wedding of Ekaterina and Maxim, where Katya mentioned the gift she prepared for her mother. Today's article turned out to be quite large, I did not cut and remove any photos or pages from the magazine, otherwise the picture would not be complete. Moreover, each page is permeated with love. I looked at black and white archival photos in a magazine and saw pictures of my parents. I will definitely take this idea into account and make a similar family magazine. I can’t even imagine how pleasant and reverent it is to hold such a gift in your hands. Click on the photo, there is a lot of heat.

So, as I already wrote, on my wedding day, which coincided with my mother's birthday, I gave her an unforgettable gift - congratulations magazine.

A couple of months before the wedding, when I had already begun to think about the magazine, I ordered family photo session. It consisted of four stories. The first is staged family and portrait photos against the background of an old building (for some reason I really love it), the general style is elegant and solemn. The second is a conversation in a cafe with tea and cookies (the well-known Madeleine coped with this mission). The third is shopping and 5 beautiful women in the background big city:), the general style is bright casual. The fourth is a picnic with the family. The purpose of the photo shoot was to capture our warm family relationships. Even if for some reason it hadn’t been possible to make a magazine, I’m glad that this shooting took place. I still enjoy looking at these photos :)

Then I sent out a text to all my relatives and my mother's friends available to me with a request to write a congratulation for her, perhaps memories of her, life stories, etc. With the same request, I called those who are within the transport reach. When it came time to get the rest of the contacts, I had to play spy. Got the password for her email. Gently, while she does not see, I copied the phones I needed from her mobile. It was very pleasant and somehow proud of her to read warm words about her. Many of the memories that were sent to me, I did not know before. For example, how they dabbled with their younger brothers as children. Everyone was so eager to respond to my requests, it was touching and joyful.

Gradually, I prepared photos from the family archive for scanning. Also, at night or in my mother's absence, I turned over a million family photos, we have a lot of them, I carried thick and heavy ones with me in my bag family albums. The most difficult thing - writing my congratulations - I kept putting it off. For some reason, it’s not easy for me to talk about love to those closest to me, even on paper. But I had something to say and something to thank for, therefore, unexpectedly for me, the lines of congratulations were written easily and by themselves. Then it was a matter of technique - to arrange the sheets of the magazine. Needless to say, it's a rather labor intensive process. But at the same time, there is no work more rewarding than this.

The log structure looks like this:

1. Introductory article "World Harmony Day"

2. Photos from childhood, with parents and brothers, then congratulations from three brothers with photos, one spread (and sometimes more) for each.

3. Photo from a photo shoot

4. A love story on two spreads in photographs and poems. My parents met at school, studied in the same class, at the same institute, so I know firsthand about eternal love :)

5. Photo from a photo shoot.

6. Congratulations from children, i.e. from the three of us, also with centerfold photos for each.

7. Photo from a photo shoot.

8. Congratulations from the grandchildren, there are also three of them. While I was designing their page, the phrase “children are the flowers of life” was spinning in my thoughts and I thought that my mother had collected a good bouquet :) And such “flowers” ​​turned out from photographs.

• I have a higher printing education (Moscow State University print).
• I have experience in the editorial offices of periodicals since 1997, I have been working remotely since 2007.
• Not by hearsay, but in practice, I have an excellent idea about the publication of magazines and printing processes.
• I carry out all stages of work from scratch and turnkey, and I communicate with you.
• I approach each project individually and take into account the requests of clients.
• I work only in licensed professional Adobe programs latest version CC 2018.
• There is official access to photos High Quality on one of the famous photobanks.
• I have an extensive portfolio, incl. hundreds of magazines as a gift (on the same site in the relevant sections you can see many examples of various works on the design and layout of printing).

About vocation and personal decency

You are on the site of a person who is sincere and sometimes even too fond of his profession. I purposefully went to what I am doing today: I received a special education, mastered the secrets of the profession, and have been working in my specialty for many years. With such an attitude to work, only a worthy, solid result is possible.

When a personal magazine is ordered for me as a gift, I already know that I will not let you down. I just won’t allow myself to do something somehow or not on time. This magazine as a gift should be the best, the most joyful and beautiful. Therefore, I always work as if I am passing an aptitude test. You get a beautiful one that only experts will distinguish from the original. I can and love to make magazines. And I've done them many, many times.

Some examples of magazines as a gift

All magazines as a gift I, of course, cannot show in detail, because each magazine is very personal and is intended for a narrow circle of readers, and not for wide viewing. I can only reveal a few details... However, I think this is enough to get an idea of ​​the level of work and how it looks individual journal which you could do with me.

Materials for a personal journal

As practice shows, problems with finding topics and ideas never happen : gift magazine suggests full scope for creativity , any suggestion is most welcome. In such a publication, you can write only about the birthday man himself, his life and environment, or you can publish those articles whose topics are very close to him. Congratulations from relatives and your declaration of love, a wedding photo essay and an article about children, a story about a trip to the Maldives and the birthday man's favorite gadget - everything is up to you! Will such a gift magazine contain culinary recipes, a horoscope, anecdotes and other topics that lie on the surface? To each his own: someone definitely needs all this, and someone will prefer other topics for their birthday. Everything is absolutely individual every time, and this is not surprising: any birthday person is a special person, and during work we adapt to him.

The cost of the magazine as a gift

• :
  from 700 rubles/page (depending on the type/name of the magazine)
• :
  8100 rub.
• Combined option:
  economy part 8100 rub. + from 700 rubles/page from scratch

~ Payment is always divided into 2 parts (50% prepayment, 50% at the end of the work).
~ You can order any number of printed magazines, the larger the circulation, the cheaper the cost of printing.
~ You can calculate the cost of the number of pages and printed copies that you need.

Why such a price

Assuming the question: “Yesterday I bought a regular glossy magazine at a kiosk for only 250 rubles,” I answer. The fact is that ordinary magazines always have large subsidies and assistance from advertisers and sponsors, and their circulation is printed in thousands of copies, and the higher the circulation, the cheaper it is to print one copy. Therefore, for a regular magazine that you buy at a kiosk, you actually pay only a small fraction of its real price. A gift magazine is made exclusively for you, and then printed in a small edition - only one, two, or ten copies. In addition, the magazine is created for you by a specialist with higher education and extensive experience in periodicals, and the publications themselves not only look, but in essence are the most real magazines, and not crafts of amateurs. Forces, knowledge, time and resources, sometimes quite large, are invested in the work on the journal as a gift.

I always advise clients: compare the real quality of work, not prices .

Someone might say:“And company N offers to make the same magazine as a gift 2-3 times cheaper!” Are you sure that company N really offers same magazine and the same high level? Think for yourself, evaluate the examples. I always advise all clients: compare the real quality of work, not prices . Carefully look at the portfolio, carefully study the working conditions, pay close attention to the service. Any level of professionalism (or unprofessionalism) is always visible, and in everything - whether it is the cover of a magazine put up on the site or the politeness of the answer to your request.

What is the difference between a professionally made magazine and a non-professional one?

Which of the two magazines below do you think was made by a professional and which by an amateur? Which one do you like better? Would you like your personal journal to be left or right? And which one do you think should cost more?

If you want to get a really REAL magazine high level performance - please contact me.

I really want to make a magazine! Is there any way to save money?

• Having chosen a completely individual version of the magazine, make fewer pages in it (not 50, but 28, for example).
• There is turnkey solution- economic version of the magazine. This edition, assembled from almost finished articles, the topics of which you can choose yourself from the extensive list offered to you. Such a magazine is suitable in conditions of limited budget or your busyness, when you do not have time to release a full-fledged magazine from scratch. Learn more about such a journal.
• You can also make a combined version of the magazine, taking as a basis a simple template economy version and adding to it a certain number of pages specially made from scratch.

Magazines are typed in professional program layout Adobe InDesign CC

Production time

Making a magazine from scratch on a turnkey basis takes time. The more time until the date of delivery, the better. The magazine needs to be carefully structured, put in order and optimize the available materials, select photos, write texts, edit them, mock up each page, think over the cover, make color correction of pictures for printing and, finally, approve everything, prepare the entire magazine for printing, print it in printing house on all technologies, and then deliver to the customer. In a word, in order for the magazine to be published as a gift, it is necessary to work hard. Of course, a personal journal can only be made with your help. And so we all need time to work on this edition. Optimal terms: from 1 month before the date, even more is better, in order to have time to do everything. For example, if your loved one has an anniversary somewhere in six months, then it's time to think about a gift for this holiday right now.

Should you make a magazine as a gift yourself

This makes sense only if you have a sufficient command of all the necessary publishing programs and know the entire editorial and printing cycle of publishing magazines, i.e. you have real experience of similar work with multi-page editions. After all, real magazines are not layouted in programs such as Word, Excel, and even, strange as it may seem, they are not layouted in the well-known Photoshop. For multi-page products, there are certain requirements and special software(InDesign, QuarkXPress, etc.). If you want to get a genuine-looking, unique magazine and a worthy gift that you are not ashamed to give to anyone, contact the experts. You should not undertake to do what you cannot do, and the apparent simplicity of work can turn into serious problems, incl. when printing.

So that the gift does not become a "gift" - read the article for more details.

Good afternoon, dear friends and guests of the blog about original gifts and congratulations! Today I present to you unusual idea, which I really like is a magazine as a gift. I hope you will also like it, because such heartfelt congratulations help convey the brightest and kindest feelings to those we love and appreciate.

I am sure that in the life of each of you there is a person who is very dear to you. For some, this is mom or dad, son or daughter, husband or wife. Or maybe a friend or girlfriend who played a big role in life and became family? For such a person, I want to prepare a gift with a soul that can express feelings for him: love, gratitude, joy that they are in your life ...

Agree, not every gift is able to convey all this in full. But an individual, exclusive magazine prepared for one single person can.

It is about such a gift will be discussed today.

Personalized magazine as a gift - a declaration of love
in an unusual format

Now it is difficult to surprise with a magazine with a photo of a birthday boy on the cover. But not everyone can create a truly touching and sincere gift.

Project "Person of the front page" is an editorial office that produces exclusive, professional quality magazines about the most ordinary people.

Each magazine from the first to the last page contains information about the birthday man. No templates and the same style and design for all!

Each magazine tells the story of a person in the context of his life. There will be nothing superfluous in the magazine - horoscopes, ratings, name analyzes and other "water" ...

And what will be in it?

The magazine dedicated to the hero of the holiday, as a rule, contains his biography, interviews with relatives, stories from his life, photographs of the birthday man, his relatives and friends.

What are the reasons for ordering a magazine as a gift?
Most often it is:

• Birthday and Anniversary
• Wedding day
• Wedding anniversary
• Birth of a child
• Anniversary of labor activity

And here is who you can give a gift to:

• Husband or wife
• Mom or dad
• Son and daughter
• Sister and brother
• Newlyweds
• Friend and girlfriend
• Godfather or godmother
• Teacher and educator
• Manager and colleague

Often the magazine is ordered jointly from a large family to a birthday person or for a leader's birthday from a team. And this makes a lot of sense.

With all the variety of gift products, finding a good memorable gift is not easy. And an individual magazine from the editors "Person of the front page" filled with the energy of many people, which causes a huge amount of positive emotions in the hero of the holiday.

Why magazine "Person of the first page"?

The editors of the “Person of the first page” is a team of professionals, including acting journalists, editors, typesetters, build editors, color correctors and proofreaders with specialized education and experience in the production of glossy printed products.

And when preparing a congratulatory magazine, it goes through all the same stages of creation as large-circulation glossy publications.

Based on the questionnaire filled out by the customer, articles are written, the photos provided by them are processed to eliminate defects and create a stylistic unity of the magazine. The magazine is typeset, the layout is approved by the customer, after which it is printed in one of the best printing houses in Moscow on the very modern equipment giving offset quality. It is this performance that we see in expensive printed editions.

You can learn more about creating a magazine from this video.

How to order a personal magazine?

Creating an exclusive personalized magazine as a gift is not a quick matter. Each stage is laborious and takes up to several days.

That is why the term for ordering a glossy magazine is from 14 days. It is better to order the magazine three weeks or earlier before the event, so that your gift is created in a calm creative atmosphere, and you are rightfully proud of the result.

The price of the magazine depends on its volume, and the cost of delivery depends on where you live. To clarify all the nuances, you need to contact the editors of the journal and discuss the details of the order. This can be done by phone or e-mail, indicated on the editorial website, a link to which you will find below.

Instead of concluding...

You know, on this site I try to provide you with big choice holiday ideas. Some of them personally touch me more, some less. But there are some that I am 100% sure of.

An individual personalized magazine is just such a gift. And I can easily name a few people from my relatives to whom I would like to prepare such an unusual congratulation.

I am sure that you have someone to present this gift to.

A personalized magazine is an ode to a person, a declaration of love for the hero of the holiday from his relatives and friends. Cordiality, gratitude, kindness are those feelings, the lack of which we often feel in everyday fuss. And this gift is able to convey our good attitude towards the hero of the holiday better than others.

Well, it’s nice for everyone to be in the role of a media person. Both man and woman.

Such a gift helps the hero of the holiday to feel his value to others, to understand how he is needed and loved. And these feelings of being in demand and recognition help to live and enjoy every new day.
