annabat: subscription magazines do not have bar codes on them, they only have barcodes on them if you buy them in a supermarket. The main designs for them do NOT have them. (143 days ago)
nicknight: My magazine was bought in the supermarket! (143 days ago)
Keiley22: how come every entry has a premanipulated front cover??? I thought pre manips were a no no, why don't people make something themselves, they are only adding writting to someone elses hard work... no offence, but besides that, was permission asked from all these people to use their images, i mean they aren't classed as stock photos either so its a confusing contest to say the least...
