There’s nothing better than a Sunday drive in your classic hot rod, or German sports car. Car enthusiasts are as unique as the rides they work so hard on to keep clean — and there’s always a story behind each one! What sits in the garage is usually a bunch of tools, cleaning supplies, and of course, car show trophies. But one thing is sometimes missing — and that’s the car on the cover of a magazine! One of the best car enthusiast gifts you can give is the recognition he or she so rightfully deserves! See how you can create a custom car-themed magazine cover below. car Feature The Ride In creating this gift for the car enthusiast, the most important thing about the magazine cover is going to be the car itself. Consider a ¾ angle of the car, making sure to fit it into the canvas. Also, it should be a clear photo with negative space available on every side, so that the headlines don’t get in the way of that shiny paint. If you have a photo of the driver with the car, even better! There’s nothing better than showing off the ride and the driver in one. Highlights Whether this car is a racetrack junkie or a show car garage queen, it’s always noteworthy to point out what makes the car so unique. If it’s won a few car shows, definitely make note of these trophies! Maybe this ride is a hawk on the track, and posted a best lap time — this is also something to note, especially since it was also due to the skills of the person behind the wheel! Whether it’s clean enough to eat off of or has a faster engine than an airplane, it’s certainly worth noting. A Custom Printing Sometimes, the idea of your car on a magazine cover is too awesome of an idea to keep limited to just one version. Luckily, you can create this personalized car magazine cover and turn it into almost anything — from a blown up poster for the garage, to custom printed t-shirts! Although if you’re going for traditional magazine sizing, you can also have it placed into a nice frame, which can be displayed almost anywhere!

It's a great idea to recognize those in your life who have made a positive impact, no matter how large or small. In your family, it's always important to recognize those who had a part in your upbringing, and grandparents certainly fall into that category. One of the best ways to show them that you're thinking of them is a personal gift. In terms of being practical and unique, nothing is quite like a personalized magazine cover to show your appreciation for all of their hard work and love for you. Here are a few things you can add to a cover to make It personal! gp Old Memories One of the best things you can include on your magazine cover are memories that you've shared with your grandparents. Whether that was a trip to the state fair or a weekend stay at their home, it's worth noting as a great memory, which makes them feel appreciated. Events that remind them how special they are to you are the best things to highlight. Quotes Every grandparent offers words of advice and wisdom to the ones in their family. This is because they usually have a ton of experience within a lot of topics. To make these important, you can use the cover editor to keep these quotes bolded and centered on the magazine cover. This gives anyone looking at your creation an idea as to who your grandparents are as a person. Mutual Hobbies If this is a special grandparents’ gift coming from only you, it's a good idea to include things that will remind them of you for a while. A good idea is to feature something like a mutual sport or hobby that both of you enjoy, such as golf or sewing. This lets them know that the time spent doing those things are either because of them or their direction was valued.   To get started, head on over to the Cover Editor and begin creating your magazine cover.
