Below are our most frequently asked questions. If you have a question that is not listed below please use one of the methods under the contact us tab for assistance.
Absolutely! We encourage you to do so. The idea of the personalized magazine cover is to make it unique to you. You will be able to see which fields you can make changes to by clicking on the magazine cover you are interested in. Please be sure to enter your information exactly how you would like it to appear.
Yes. If you would like to purchase a duplicate magazine cover, you can do so for only $10.75. However, the duplicate cover has to have the same picture, wording, etc.
While you will have different shipping options during the checkout process, in general please allow approximately one week for delivery of your cover(s). You will get to proof your custom cover prior to it be printed and mailed. Some of the turn-around time depends on how often you check your emails. Once we get approval from you, your cover is printed and goes out in the next business day's mail.
Pictures taken with your digital camera are very much preferred. Digital pictures will provide the best quality and clarity for your magazine cover. A larger file size will work best. It is always easier for us to make a file smaller rather than larger.
What if the picture I send you becomes distorted when it is enlarged?
Your DIGITAL picture is best as a JPG format, although other formats can work. If the picture you send becomes distorted when it is enlarged, we will contact you to discuss options. It is always better to send a larger file and let us make it smaller.
Will I get to see or make changes to my cover before it is mailed?
Absolutely! Once we receive the information you would like on your cover and have created it, you will be sent at least one draft to review and make changes to. Often times we will send you a couple of drafts to choose from. We do this because each photo looks different on a cover and we may adjust layout or colors to better enhance your photo. Your personalized magazine cover will always be approved by you before printed and mailed.
