Hi guys, this thread will be where I will post my published works in the mainstream media. I figured after posting my reviews in my uni mags in various movie threads and the way my life is headed at the moment (I’m going to become a fully-fledged journalist in a major national newspaper within the next month or so), I might as well place all my printed public articles in one place! 
And what better way to kick this off than with a Pixar-related magazine cover!
…
I’m part of a design team for an advertising magazine, and I’ve managed to convince my boss to do a Pixar spoof for the district magazine I’m in charge of. Being a longtime Pixar fan, this was a great opportunity for me to finally parody one of their movies in a published magazine in wide circulation within the Sydney area.
We usually recycle titles that’s been run in other districts before, so I dug ‘The Edibles’ from the archives and gave it a 2012 revamp! Yeah, the title doesn’t make sense; this was made when they used to do themes according to businesses featured in the centrespread, so for the past edition, they had an F&B theme going on.
I’ve snuck in a real-life Remy from another Brad Bird masterpiece (Ratatouille) and the Pixar Planet logo onto a real-life recreation of the Pizza Planet Truck (the body is a Toyota Hilux, while the rocket is actually TinTin’s rocket).
And of course, being a massive My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic fan, I couldn’t resist sneaking in another of the Mane Six - this time it’s Drama Queen Rarity! It’s really the same horse I used for Twilight in the December issue for another district, but with a different mane (now it’s all wavy!). It was a rush job as I added her in at the last-minute, but again it managed to pass editorial checks because I doubt anyone in my office has seen The Incredibles besides my design team colleagues. Also, I made a flash animation on the site where Rarity explodes (once though, not twice).
Enjoy the following images of the cover and centrespread.

Oh, and I made Equestria Daily’s Nightly Roundup again! I have plans to include the rest of the Mane Six in future editions.

P.S. I’ve hidden myself on the cover, see if you can spot me!
