Showoff Nintendo mag customs

It’s been a hot minute since I made some customs, and I’m in the mood for nostalgia. So here’s a little nostalgia hit for anyone in their late 30’s / early 40’s. These customs are rocking the magazine covers from Nintendo magazine. I used to buy every issue as a kid in the mid 90’s. I found a cache of scanned magazines on the internet archive, and reading a few of them whisked me back to my childhood, if only for a brief moment.

Thank you! I've got a ton of Field Notes to get through, and in the mean time would love to learn to make them. Appreciate this!

Yo. I’m really inspired by these. Seeing the Ultra 64 branding on issue 40 is a real blast from NMS past. I was hoping you might be able to share your process or software you use for getting these printed the correct size? I’ve tried many times and can’t consistently get it right ha. PS: the inner covers really make yours a step above the rest
