Wedding Magazine! :)

Hello ladies and gentlemen,

 

Here is the wedding magazine I put together.

 

I paid for it here:

 

https://www.dazzleprinting.com/product/magazine-printing/

 

Here are my specs:

 

 

Magazine $66.61 for 30 pieces 70# gloss text color ink 5.5 x 8.5 8 pages 80# Gloss Cover - Color Saddle Stitch UV Coating, 2 sided (Cover) Email PDF Production Speed: FASTEST-Ships 1 Business Day after proof approval No 5% discount

 

I paid about $35.10 via 3 Day Select shipping because I'm muy nerviosa it will come late!!! Wedding date is July 10 (as you will see ).

 

At the end, I just got tired and gave up. LOL!

 

So what I did was I used GoogleSlides and sized it to 5.5 x 8.5 (portrait).

 

Everything is so easy on GoogleSlides, there are easy tutorials to make a magazine in GoogleSlides online!

 

Here is the link I looked at for help:

So, the Meet the Guests pages were more difficult.

 

I used kevgirl's template from here:

I changed the background photo to a two page spread.

Then, you have to cut the image in half. I totally forgot how I did that! Probably a lot of MSPaint (I guess they just call it Paint nowadays - that's free on Windows)! I can't remember if I used Pixen or Paintbrush for the Mac computer.

 

It's a lot of sending things backward and forward in Word and in GoogleSlides. Look for guides online if you don't know how or check the help section of Word. You basically right click on the image you want to send backwards or forwards. You'll see what I mean.

 

The Who's Who page I just created in Word, which is why it's so fuzzy. It was hard for me to imagine where to place things in GoogleSlides, but easier for me in Word.

 

Then, I got a crossword made free from TheTeachersCorner.net. I didn't want to leave their credit, but they said if you are publishing it you have to leave the credit so I felt guilty and left it in there. I tried to include a clue for each guest, but tried not to give away the answer on the Meet the Guests pages so they would have to ask each other. I screwed up though and forgot, so you can find one clue in the Meet the Guests pages. Only one though. I just got so tired! I'm pretty busy since I'm working full time

 

The other photos were all ones I got from Facebook, except for a few people who sent me photos (very few!).

 

The photos on the cover and the back cover are actually my personal photos! Well, duh for the cover, but the back cover is actually a photo I took for my photography class. So be sure to credit me if you steal it

 

I really wanted to do fun "horoscopes" but I just gave up. LOL. Too tired!

 

Enjoy!
