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.

In order to keep costs down, we do not ship the covers in a frame.
If you are looking to purchase a frame, a document or certificate frame works best since we print borderless (edge to edge) for the magazine cover prints.
While we do not sell the frames, if you would like to purchase a frame for your completed cover(s), we recommend an 8 1/2 x 11 document frame. Because we print our covers borderless we suggest you bring your cover with you when purchasing a frame or if you would like to purchase a frame before your cover arrives, you should bring an 8 1/2 x 11 size paper with you to the store and make sure you can see all edges (border to border of the paper).
While we specialize in the personalized magazine covers. We are also available to do do other design work for you. Please contact via the contact form with your request.
With the magazine cover PRINTS you do not get a full magazine. What you are ordering is a personalized magazine cover only. The are prints made to look like magazine covers. We print borderless on 8.5 x 11 high quality gloss professional photo paper. Because of the paper they are printed on, the personalized magazine cover prints are best suited for framing. Frames are not included.
The magazine cover WRAPS do come with a complimentary magazine. Your wrap is sized to fit around that magazine.
What is the difference between a magazine cover print and a magazine cover wrap?
A MAGAZINE COVER PRINT: printed on 8.5 x 11 high quality gloss professional photo paper. It is a single sheet printed edge to edge (no white boarder around it.). Because the paper is heavier, the prints are best suited for framing. Document or certificate frames work best. Frames are not included.
A MAGAZINE COVER WRAP:A MAGAZINE COVER WRAP: full size (front and back) wrap that will fit around an actual magazine. The pre-designed magazine cover wrap will feature your personalized photo and information on the front cover and a Cover Me Famous ad on the back. The Create A Cover magazine wrap comes with a custom front and back cover. The wraps are printed on magazine quality paper. The inside front and inside back pages are intentionally left blank where you can write a gift message. Magazine Cover Wraps come with a complimentary magazine
