So with the magazine cover challenge, and advanced editing rules in play, are we going to see lots of 'final' versions, with text etc ? Is that good or bad ?
I don't think that text should be added, but, space SHOULD be left for the text that goes on the cover. That is a major consideration when shooting magazine covers.
NOTE: To achieve the full effect, you have to imagine this sung with a bad fake Russian accent.
Plagiarize,
Let no one else's work evade your eyes,
Remember why the good Lord made your eyes,
So don't shade your eyes,
But plagiarize, plagiarize, plagiarize...
Only be sure always to call it please, "research".

My parents had his first 10" LP, self-produced (300 copies) while he was still an undergraduate at Harvard right around the time I was born. I already know just about all the lyrics (and intros) from his albums, but find it easier to cut and paste them from where this person has so conveniently transcribed them all. Fortunately, Tom's an equal-opportunity offender, and so is a ready repository of pithy quotes on virtually any subject.
Suppose you took a picture of the pyramids for magazine cover, and moved them slightly to improve the composition.
Does this have less photographic integrity ?
Does it then meet the challenge more ?
It depends. If the cover is for National Geographic, a journal with a putatively educational mission, it would be inappropriate.
For the cover of Time Travel Quarterly, a Sci-Fi magazine whose lead story revolves around the position of the pyramids being a clue to the changing of history, it might be fine.
Myself, I'd put one of them upside-down so that there would be no confusion that it had been moved.
this is an ineresting look at how covers have evolved.
I agree with Spazmo99, composing the image to allow for text is something I will be considering.
Even though many fashion type mag's now overprint the image and it seems to have actually become secondary.
The point being, National Geographic already published that shot, so surely its more realistic to move them, than not ?
I knew that, and as I recall a few people were upset by it. Fortunately, that cover is not the sole remaining extant photo of the pyramids, nor do I think we should include it in a time capsule for future archeologists to find.
hmm, sports is looking good, as im good at that, and my brother has an upcoming hockey tourn in atlanta this weekend. Hmmm airport pictures too! is there an airport magazine?

I saw a TV documentary a while ago following some American tourists on a trip to the UK. They were particularly keen on the brochure, showing Stonehenge in front of a beautiful sunset and the ocean..
Let's just say they weren't too amused when they visited Stonehenge and found out it's actually nowhere near the ocean.

You need to acquire a Texan sense of scale - then realise that everywhere in the UK is near the 'ocean'
