AREA 1 has been growing and growing since its beginning, but not that much. The blog is still young and I don’t have budget to pay for any article.
What could I offer to you now is only expossure. Here’s what that means exactly:
- Author box at bottom of post with links to website and bio. Promote your own blog, get readers;
- Exposure to a constantly growing traffic.
I realize that this isn’t much, but unfortunately this is the best I can do at this moment.
And now, I can offer you:
1 MONTH OF FREE ADVERTISING (125×125 – Sidebar) for each guest post.
If you write a guest post, I will put your 125×125px banner in the sidebar, for one month!
If you are interested all you need to do is leave a comment on this post or contact me and I’ll respond as soon as possible.
What is a magazine?
Magazines, periodicals, glossies or serials are publications, generally published on a regular schedule, containing a variety of articles, generally financed by advertising, by a purchase price, by pre-paid magazine subscriptions, or all three. Magazines can be distributed through the mail; through sales by newsstands, bookstores or other vendors; or through free distribution at selected pick up locations. – Wikipedia
In my opinion, a magazine is (or let’s say was for some of us) a method to get yourself informed about different subjects, read the latest gossips or just relax while reading.
Today, we will learn how to create a magazine cover in Adobe Photoshop.
Here’s a preview of what are going to create with the help of this tutorial over here on AREA 1.

Happy birthday AREA 1! Today we celebrate our 1st year (hopefully more will come).
