Sports Poster Idea – The Sports Illustrated Look

Have a budding athlete in the family? A unique looking customized poster of their action shots would make a great gift! Wouldn’t it be cool to make a poster that shows your athlete featured on the cover of a sports magazine? Check out some of our templates for magazine covers.

Tips for making your sports magazine cover

Some tips that you’ll find helpful when designing a sports magazine style custom poster:

  • Try the ‘Erase Background’ option for your photos. Have a big photo in the middle of the magazine cover with its background erased. Give it a glow to hide any jaggy edges.

  • For prominent text, try the ‘broken text’ effect. That gives it a rugged, sporty look.

  • Apart from a large photo in the center, try making a collage of smaller photos on either side of the center photo. You can play around with the ‘Fading Edge’ effect for photos to make them blend into the background. Alternatively, you can give the photos a glow, or a border to make them stand out.

  • Look for layout ideas for magazine covers by searching for ‘sports illustrated (and the name of a sport)’ on Google Images.

  • For the complete variety of magazine cover style poster backgrounds, check out the Art Gallery page.
