CONTEST! Design a mind-numbingly tedious magazine, win awesome prizes from Saddleback Leather

UPDATE: The winners! Time to get your shoop on! We've had a lot of competitions for writers and coders at BB; this one's for the designers. The premise is simple: design the cover to a skull-crushingly boring magazine, and we'll pick out the funniest to win an expensive, heavy-duty messenger bag from Saddleback Leather. They've also provided some runner-up prizes, too, so two more winners will get leather gadget sleeves good for Kindles, iPads and tiny netbooks. Read our contest rules. Submit links to your entries in the comments.

I spent a couple of hours in the magazine section of Tower Records back in the mid 90s, and there were half a dozen magazines just devoted to Barbra Streisand trivia, not to mention another dozen on fingernail extension art and technology. It’s scary out there.

Design competitions are for schmucks. They are an unethical way to get crappy designs. Good designers are hired to do real projects. Bad designers enter contests, doing work for no money. Boing Boing should know better than this.
- royaltrux
  
  This isn’t for a logo or other revenue generating design, as far as I can tell it’s just for fun. But I generally do agree with what you said.
- nixiebunny
  
  Good designers who like to have fun also enter contests. They tend to win.

- nanoquimico
  
  Having been to a paper physics conference I must say that there are at least a few cardboard technologists that would be interested in your magazine.
  
  This contest makes me think of whether is it possible to find something so boring that no person would be interested in it.
  
  Many actual magazines at the newsstands would in my mind belong to this contest, but the fact that there is a readership for them is quite amusing.
  
  A fun extension of this contest would be to pair the fakes with real boring magazines and quiz the readers to identify them.

    That was the problem that I kept coming back to as well. And I have to say that I for one would really like to know what the Arctic Challenge entailed. Perhaps I’ll have to come up with something less interesting.

For inspiration, watch a couple of episodes of Have I Got News For You. They do a missing-word-from-the-headline, which they often have a “guest publication” to go along with the news papers that is bogglingly obscure or dull. “Fresh Produce Journal” “Laundry and Cleaning News International” “Hair Growers News” “Semen World” “Compressed Air International” “Doorknob Collector” etc.

Rob Beschizza

Designmine, this isn’t a design contest where we trick people into designing logos or T-shirts or performing other spec-work for us with the prospect of prizes. The entries, which are mostly posted off of Boing Boing on personal sites anyway, will never be used by us except in this thread and maybe a winner announcement, for the transient amusement of your fellow readers. There is no suggestion of future professional reward here.

In fact, I’d say this competition is probably very bad for your portfolio. I wouldn’t hire anyone who’d even dream of entering it, and considered firing myself for creating the example entry.

The magazine logo came off pretty, and the headlines are somewhat clever. So I wanted to share.

My actual entry was my second thought, Number 6 Monthly. Which I think is a stronger cover on the whole. The concept has a little more geek cred’ and the color palette was spot on (I just got lucky there).

One time when I was in junior high I went with my dad to a car wash, and I remember seeing an issue of “Carwashing” magazine and thinking that sounded like the most boring thing ever. At the time I wasn’t aware of trade publications.

Fast forward 20 years, and through Facebook I get back in touch with the girl I attended the 9th-grade junior high prom with, and it turns out that a few years earlier her husband had inherited a successful car wash and, sure enough, they subscribed to Carwashing magazine.

  Nice Tmas, but the word is queue. I submitted a work in ad design at the Art Institute of Seattle, and it was great work. Resembled a National Geographic cover and was advertising Rapidographs. The ship/sea/sky/cliffs illustration was stippled using a Rapidograph. I put the header in “National Rapidograpic”, having concentrated on comping the type perfectly, I misspelled my header. The instructor gave me an F on the grounds that if I did that with a client, I would lose a commission. I got the grade raised to what I deserved on the grounds that Rapidographic is not a word anyway, but the instructor was right.
