Forge or counterfeit (something).
Synonyms:

I highly recommend picking up the art issue of W Magazine. You'll enjoy these "fake" ads created and shot by Steven Meisel. They remind me, in a great sort of way, of the work that Maurizia Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari create for their pet project, Toilet Paper Magazine.
