A personal glossy magazine for a birthday is a gift that can amaze anyone!

I pay a lot of attention to personalized gifts, since for most people, having their own name on a pillow-mug-flash drive evokes pleasant emotions. Souvenirs with personal photos have also been among the leaders for the second decade.

I’ll tell you about a recent gift order for the head of a small event planning company. Colleagues wanted to somehow unusually congratulate a lady who is pretty in all respects, who infects everyone around her with an inexhaustible fountain of creativity, loves surprises, travels a lot and shares numerous photographs on social networks.

You can’t surprise such a person with mugs and pillows, and besides the name and a lonely photograph, we wanted to post a lot of all kinds of good information about Ekaterina Alexandrovna. Along the way, the colleagues decided to put together funny congratulatory photos from different years, poetic dedications for various holidays, and reviews from partners about the entire company, the soul of which was the hero of the day.

In short, there were a lot of photographs and texts that needed to be organized somehow effectively. At first we saw the layout of a photo album with all sorts of decorative elements, we even started looking for a printing company that would take on this project.

While we were looking, we found a much more suitable idea on the Internet!

What is a magazine as a gift?

This is a specially created publication, each article of which is dedicated to a specific person, his life path and interests, and looks like a regular magazine that you can buy at a kiosk. A glossy cover, smooth coated paper and typographic quality are a must. Bright and colorful, with high-quality layout and professionally executed - such a personal magazine is sure to surprise and delight every birthday person who will be given a similar gift for any occasion or simply as a sign of attention. An individual magazine as a gift will suit anyone and will flatter even those who are particularly picky or those who already have everything.

all the materials for your personal magazine together with you, because only you can know your birthday person well, his characteristics, hobbies and important milestones in life. But when we start working, I will definitely suggest some ideas and topics that can be reflected in the gift journal , I will explain everything thoroughly and, of course, I will take a direct part in its creation. You will also need photographs of the birthday boy for work.

At the moment, more than 300 personal journals made by me have been gifted to birthday people around the world.

What is gloss

Despite the fact that there are a lot of ideas on how to make and present an individual glossy magazine as a gift, many still do not know what it is.

This is a real printed publication with numerous colorful photographs, laid out according to the example of well-known magazines such as Forbes or Cosmopolitan and printed in a printing house on coated paper.

However, its internal content is filled with images and texts in accordance with the wishes of the customer. For the cover, a beautiful, large, preferably artistic photograph of the person to whom the publication is intended as a gift is used.

Type and name of the magazine

All magazines as a gift are different, and first you need to understand how you see a magazine as a gift. After all, everyone needs their own magazine: some want a Forbes-type publication, while others want a magazine for which the name and design are specially invented. A completely new magazine or a complete copy of a modern glossy publication - I can do everything, thereby adapting to any customer preferences and can fulfill absolutely any order.

I have made several dozen similar publications, and each of them is unique in its own way. I work with almost any budget and practice a personal approach to the client. Different options are calculated individually. If you are interested in the idea, but money is tight, then we will agree anyway. Don't rush to look for alternatives: I have everything you were looking for. I'm sure I can help you!

Team Golden Men

As promised, a few words about the team itself working on the magazine. They were one of the first (or the very first) to print these magazines.

There is a lot of plagiarism on the Internet, but it is repeated mainly by people who have nothing but a computer to create a journal. They have to negotiate with editors, designers, printing houses, etc. Everything is tied to a specific freelancer, or a couple of freelancers, who really can’t guarantee anything to anyone. The Golden Men team is a real working company with professional editors, designers, and its own printing house.

Thanks to them, I found a truly original and interesting gift and became the hero of the party. Guests leafed through the magazine, asked for details and praised him for a super-find for a gift.

The geography of cooperation is the whole world!

I work remotely with all cities in Russia and around the world. All communication with you is via the Internet, via e-mail, which will perfectly allow us to work together, but at the same time in a mode convenient for everyone. I have extensive experience in remote work, so I can say for sure: all this is more than real. Materials are sent to each other by email, and files are uploaded to file hosting services. I receive the required number of copies of printed magazines from the printing house and immediately send them to you by express mail anywhere in the world.

We have extensive experience working with customers from different parts of the world: Moscow, St. Petersburg, Berlin, London, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Belarus, Yekaterinburg, Rostov-on-Don, Saratov, Chelyabinsk, Novosibirsk and Kurgan regions, Krasnodar Territory, Surgut, Far East, etc.

Why is it more profitable to work with me and not with studios, firms, companies?

I don’t work for the flow and don’t set a goal to get many, many orders. This means you will get a truly individual and creative approach to your project.
I am a private specialist , you work and communicate exclusively with me. I don’t proudly call myself a company, I don’t create the appearance of a big, cool company with a bunch of staff, each of whom supposedly endlessly does something for you, creates, fusses. It is I who constantly communicate with you and perform most of all the necessary work for you. And I am responsible for the result.
I have a higher printing education and extensive experience working in periodicals , I have been working remotely since 2007. I work only in licensed professional Adobe programs of the latest version CC 2021. There is official access to high-quality photographs on one of the well-known photo banks. We have an extensive portfolio, including hundreds of magazines as gifts.
You pay only for the work directly performed for you , because I do not have management and you do not need to pay office rent, accounting work, pay taxes and insurance premiums. At the same time, you do not need to come to the office anywhere - everything is available online.
I am a versatile professional . At the same time, I do not at all claim that I can and know everything, but I had the opportunity to go through a long journey from a technical editor who drew pencil layouts to the leading editor of a difficult publication. Professional education always helps me with this. Therefore, my work experience allows me to perform various types of work at a high level - of course, within the framework of a multi-page publication. That’s why I don’t take on all projects, but only those that I really know how to do.
Available for communication and work not only on weekdays , but also, if necessary, on weekends and holidays. I accept orders 7 days a week.
I constantly improve my professional level , strive for the best quality, and also offer the most effective work options.
I don’t need to be taught, stimulated, checked and controlled - I know how to work and really know how multi-page publications are made. After me, you definitely won’t have to go anywhere again. You can always be confident in the highest quality of the work I perform and professional service, since each customer is personally my customer, to whom I bear full responsibility.

Template version

The name of the hero/heroine of the magazine is inserted into finished, well-written texts. It must be said that the texts are so well written that the hero may not even realize that it was written especially for him.

What you need to order:

Select a name.
Send information about the hero.
Send a photo of the hero.
Send a photo for the cover.

To get started, you just need to fill out the form on the website https://goldenmen.ru/ or write them an email to [email protected] . Then they will send a step-by-step action plan, where they will explain what and how.

You can see how to choose the right photo so that it turns out well in the “blog” section: https://goldenmen.ru/BLOG/Blog_blog.html (it’s somehow unclear how this section was made - it’s not obvious that this is a section and not a design element But by going there you can learn a lot of interesting things.)

Original and practical gift ideas for the New Year

All. Next, you need to wait for the layout version, which you can make changes to. Templates are selected based on the psychological portrait of the hero, so the same magazines are rarely found. Design as in the presented photos. After this, approval and printing.

But this option, despite its simplicity, is not always suitable when you want to highlight the merits of a particular person.

Materials for a personal journal

As practice shows, there are never any problems with finding topics and ideas : a gift magazine provides complete scope for creativity , any suggestion is welcome. In such a publication you can write only about the birthday boy himself, his life and environment, or you can publish those articles whose topics are very close to him. Congratulations from relatives and your declaration of love, a wedding photo report and an article about children, a story about a trip to the Maldives and the birthday boy’s favorite gadget - all entirely of your choice!

Will such a gift magazine contain culinary recipes, a horoscope, jokes and other topics that lie on the surface? To each his own: some people definitely need all this, while others will prefer other topics for their birthday boy. Everything is absolutely individual every time, and this is not surprising: every birthday person is a special person, and during our work we adapt to him and your wishes.

Cost of a personal magazine as a gift

Full-fledged magazine from scratch (VIP): from 700 rub. / page (depending on the type / title of the magazine)
Economy version (semi-template articles): RUB 10,000.
Combined option: economy part 10,000 rub. + pages from scratch from 700 rub./page.

~ Payment is always divided into 2 parts (50% advance payment, 50% at the end of the work). ~ You can order any number of printed magazines; the larger the circulation, the cheaper the printing cost.

Thematic content and design

Thematic content and design will vary depending on the recipient, event, budget, volume of publication, and customer wishes.

As for design, you can create a personal glossy magazine for a gift either in an economy class, using templates, or from scratch.

Economy class

This option does not imply low quality layout or trivial content. On the contrary, it has a number of advantages:

It costs less.
It doesn't take much time to create it.
Due to the fact that the addressee is not very close to the donor, the latter does not have much illustrative material and information.

Its design is styled after existing glossy publications, but it is dedicated exclusively to the hero of the occasion, which makes it completely unique. It is also printed on coated paper with a thicker glossy cover.

Original edition

The original layout is made up from scratch, and the design and concept of the publication are re-invented for it. The pages reflect the personal qualities of the birthday boy, for which he is valued and loved by those around him, important and vibrant life events, hobbies, interests, accompanied by rich illustrative material.

The volume of such a publication is practically unlimited (it is clear that it should remain within the framework of the magazine, and not turn into “War and Peace”).

Features to consider:

An original magazine will require considerable investment, especially if it is large.
It is necessary to prepare such a gift in advance, since a lot of time is allocated for this.
The customer must provide sufficient information and illustrations.
Such a publication is developed and typed in close cooperation and under the control of the customer, so it is recommended to leave your contacts to the contractor and be prepared to allocate some time for consultations when working on the layout.

Humorous edition

For a loved one, you can prepare a glossy publication with humorous content. Fascinating articles filled with funny jokes will tell about the hero of the occasion, covertly admiring his virtues and victories in life.

The customer also acts as the editor-in-chief, who is given the right to control every letter, correcting content that is inappropriate, in his opinion.

Why this price?

Assuming the question: “Yesterday I bought an ordinary glossy magazine at a kiosk for only 200 rubles!”, I answer.

The fact is that ordinary magazines always have large subsidies and help from advertisers and sponsors, and their circulation is printed in thousands of copies, and the higher the circulation, the cheaper it is to print one copy. Therefore, for a regular magazine that you buy at a kiosk, you actually pay only a small part of its real price. The gift magazine is made exclusively for you , and then printed in a small edition - only one, two or ten copies.

In addition, the magazine is created for you by a specialist with higher education and extensive experience in working in periodicals , and the publications themselves not only look, but in essence are the most real magazines, and not the crafts of amateurs . In working on the magazine, effort, knowledge, time and resources are invested as a gift, sometimes quite large.

I always advise clients: compare the actual quality of work, not prices.

Someone may say: “And company N offers to make the same magazine as a gift 2-3 times cheaper!” Are you sure that company N really offers exactly the same magazine and the same high level ? Think for yourself, evaluate the examples. I always advise all clients: compare the actual quality of work, not the prices . Look carefully at the portfolio, carefully study the working conditions, and pay close attention to the service. Any level of professionalism (or unprofessionalism) is always visible, in everything - be it a magazine cover posted on the site or the politeness of the response to your request.

Unfortunately, often the colorful title “let’s make a glossy magazine in 2 days” hides mediocre developers who can only rivet primitive workpieces. Be careful when choosing a performer! Don't be fooled by the cheapness! My portfolio contains dozens of completed works for clients who came to me in despair because they were abandoned by the previous contractor, who promised to do everything and did nothing.

Reason for a gift

Creating a well-known magazine with your own texts and images is becoming more popular every year. The list of services has expanded, different options for magazine layout have appeared, and the portfolio contains many examples of finished works.

Occasion:

Birthday
Wedding day
Anniversary
for International Women's Day on March 8
for Valentine's Day
for Defender of the Fatherland Day on February 23
Labor anniversary

Who to give it to:

To your loved one
Wife, husband, child
Newlyweds or wedding anniversary
To a friend, girlfriend
Work colleague
To the boss
Teacher, educator

Here are just some of the “typical reviews” that are more than abundant on their website.

My husband really liked the surprise! He was very surprised and happy and proud that a whole magazine was written about him! It was a weekday morning. At first he just managed to look through the magazine, took it to work, showed it to everyone) And when he read it, his emotions knew no bounds). He realized how lovingly this magazine was made and that he was appreciated and proud of it. This gave him strength and confidence. Thank you very much for your excellent work!!! Super!

Yesterday, on her birthday, my daughter received your magazine! I am sending you a photo from the “scene of the event”. We asked the waiter to play, so to speak, the role that he saw Anya on the cover of some magazine, she, not suspecting anything, was very surprised, and when he showed the magazine itself, she was even more surprised. Then the waiter asked her for an autograph -asked him to sign it directly on his hand :). She, of course, signed, but was still perplexed as to what was happening. The friends were also completely amazed. And when she opened the magazine and saw my photo on the editor’s page, she understood everything, BUT it was still unclear: how? where? how is this possible? My friends were also shocked, and, of course, they were jealous with kind envy, BUT they know WHAT my daughter means to me, so... they were sincerely happy. The magazine moved from hand to hand, everyone looked at it endlessly! In general, the surprise was a success!!! Thank you very much again!! And I hope...see you soon, because I’m sure I’ll want to please someone else!

We are very glad that we ordered the PREMIUM version, since so many of our wishes and suggestions probably would not have fit anywhere else. The whole company made edits, suggested options, and looked for suitable photos. And to each of our letters there was a detailed answer, very lively, not formal, there was a clear feeling that they were working with us, developing our thoughts, etc. We are VERY pleased with the quality of the work and the quality of the magazine. We even took some points in your work into our arsenal, since there is always something to learn from professionals and we are glad that we turned to you. Unfortunately, we cannot present you with a photo; on the contrary, we ask you to remove all materials about the magazine. This is the specifics of our work, nothing can be done, but we really want our review to be on your website, since the birthday boy was simply moved to tears, and we, as a team, got to know each other from a new side while working on the magazine. This helps us a lot now in our main work. THANK YOU!

What is the difference between a professionally made magazine and an unprofessional one?

Which of these two magazines below do you think was made by a professional and which by an amateur? Which one do you like best? Would you like your personal journal to look like the left or right option? And which one do you think should cost more?

If you want to get a truly REAL magazine of a high level of execution, contact me.

I really want to make a magazine! Is there anything cheaper?

Eat!

Choose a completely individual version of the magazine; make it have fewer pages (not 60, but 28, for example).
There is a ready-made solution - an economical version of the magazine . This is a publication collected from almost finished articles, the topics of which you can choose from the extensive list offered to you. Such a magazine is suitable when you have a limited budget or are busy, when you do not have time to produce a full-fledged magazine from scratch. Read more about this magazine here.
You can also make a combined version of the magazine , taking as a basis a simple template economy version and adding to it a certain number of pages specially made from scratch.

Examples of spreads

Wonderful magazine!!! All pages are thick and glossy. The colors are bright, the photographs are clear. Lead times and delivery are fast. The price is low. The texts were composed well (my corrections were minimal, which I did not expect): no stupidity or vulgarity, everything is subtle, ironic, with humor, without pompous platitudes and at the same time without familiarity. Everything made me happy! We played up the white back of the first page, which we were worried about, with our introductory words, and left the last one for congratulations from friends. Thank you so much for the wonderful gift for our son!!!

Oksana Masyakova

Hello! I ordered a glossy magazine for a friend in her DR. The program is convenient, understandable...there were some difficulties with its installation and use, but technical specialists were in the chat. the service patiently answered my questions...thanks to them for that. They promised to work on the issue so that it would be possible to use the program on-line from abroad... The magazine was quickly delivered. In general, I am 100% satisfied with the service. Now about the quality. All photographs and pictures are bright and beautiful, everything is attached perfectly. One BUT, when I was deciding on a gift, I checked whether this magazine would feel like a real glossy magazine. To which I received a positive response. Which is exactly what I was hoping for. In fact, the pages are much denser than in a real magazine, i.e. because of this, in my opinion, it is not entirely believable... This was a little disappointing, since I expected to receive an exact copy of a glossy magazine. The gift has not yet been given. But I hope that my and your efforts will be appreciated by the birthday girl.) Thank you for your work

Not only women, but secretly many men dream of becoming the hero of an expensive glossy magazine.

Giving a personal glossy magazine as a gift, entirely dedicated to a relative or friend, is a completely feasible idea. Only the donor must be prepared that this will require him to spend some money and time. However, a unique gift is worth it.

Especially if you prepare it in secret, as a surprise, the publication will not fail to evoke admiration for the originality of the concept, the exclusivity of the execution, awakening a feeling of sincere gratitude towards the donor.

Production times are realistic for quality work

In order to create a professional and beautiful publication, it takes time. The more time before the delivery date, the better. The magazine needs to be carefully structured, put in order and optimize the available materials, select photos, write texts, edit them, layout each page, think over the cover, color correct the pictures for printing and, finally, approve everything, prepare the entire magazine for printing, print it in printing houses using all technologies, and then deliver to the customer. In short, for a magazine to be published as a gift, you need to work hard. That's why it's worth starting work on your gift magazine early.

Of course, a personal journal can only be created with your help. And that's why we all need time to work on this publication. Optimal timeframe: from 1 month before the date, better even more, in order to get everything done. Don’t put off resolving this issue until the last few days, contact us now!

In addition, remember that a true professional in his field is never completely free from work; such people often have a queue of customers who want to work with this particular specialist. Here's another reason not to leave your order for later. And who said that you can’t start preparing a gift in advance, say, 3-6 months before the date?

Write to me now. Hurry up, the number of orders in progress is limited!

A real article about a person in a gift magazine - printed and as a layout in the Adobe InDesign CC layout program

Should you make a magazine as a gift yourself?

This only makes sense if you have sufficient knowledge of all the necessary publishing programs and know the entire editorial and printing cycle of magazine production, i.e. you have real experience of similar work with multi-page publications. After all, real magazines are not laid out in programs like Word, Excel, and even, strange as it may seem, they are not laid out in the well-known Photoshop.

For multi-page products there are certain requirements and special software (InDesign, QuarkXPress, etc.). If you want to receive an authentic-looking, unique magazine and a worthy gift that you would not be ashamed to give to anyone, contact the specialists. You shouldn’t undertake to do something you don’t know how to do, and the apparent simplicity of the work can turn into serious problems, incl. when printing.

To prevent a gift from becoming a “gift” - read more in this article.

Who carries out the project

Theoretically, it is possible to do this yourself if you have the ability to work with graphic editors, such as Photoshop or Indesign, and write interesting texts.

However, it is better to involve professionals, since creating high-quality products of this kind requires a number of diverse skills and special knowledge regarding layout, photo processing, and text creation. The specialist may suggest:

exciting topics for articles,
interesting ways of presenting material,
original design solutions.

The work of professionals is an expensive pleasure. But if the gift budget is very limited, then it is better to abandon this idea altogether than to be content with low-grade amateur performances in the worst sense of the word.

More about me

I have been working in publishing and printing for many years. I have been giving magazines as gifts since 2010, when my friends approached me with the following request: to turn an ordinary magazine into a personal one to give to the head of the family. The first experience was very successful, and since then I have been constantly approached by customers who want to give such an unusual and original gift to their loved ones and acquaintances. You can find out more about me, and also see various works in the portfolio.

Feedback is very important to me: I try for people, so it’s always useful to know that you need it, that I’m really helping you and that I’m generally doing a worthy job. You can read some real reviews about my work in the appropriate section on this site.

Stop thinking and wasting time looking for another original gift for a loved one. Give him a personal glossy magazine that we will create together. Surprise and pleasant emotions not only for the recipient, but also for all guests are guaranteed!
