Genuine Submitted Questions and Real Comments about our fake magazine covers

The 2 MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS are...

 

 

WHY CAN'T I SEE A PREVIEW?

 

Usually, if you can see a preview, it would be because your cover is laid out by software… which is not the case with FakeMagazines.com covers.

Here, each cover layout is done by a real human being so that captions are positioned not to hide main subject... and some other design imperatives that no automated/blind software could perform.
Thus, doing a proof/preview would be doing the whole job before even knowing if we are getting the order.

May we remind you however that once the cover is delivered, any changes you would require (within scope of original order) will always be done free of charge.

 

CAN I HAVE EXTRA PICTURES OR CAPTIONS?

 

Yes. Each extra item is $1.50 (one image or one caption are each considered as one item).
To have one added to your cover, send text or image to fakemagazines@videotron.ca stating order number. We will issue a PayPal Money Request and design your page according to any instructions you would provide.

Please note however that extra caption or message asked for in "special instructions" box on Order Form will be, until further notice, added to your cover for free.

 

 

 

Questions & Answers

 
I have ordered my magazine 3 days ago, Why haven't I received it yet? Thank you. (Miriam J.)
 

Your order has been processed within posted delays and the magazine cover (a 8½ x 10½ inches, 200 dpi pdf file) has been sent to eMail address given on Order Form. A lighter (96 dpi) jpeg version has also been sent in a distinct eMail.
If you have not yet received these image-files, it most probably would be because one of the following:

1- Our eMails with their attachments were erroneously sent to your "Unwanted Mail" folder by an over-reacting SPAM filter;

2- Your mailbox is full;

If our eMails cannot be found in your rejected mail folder you may ask us to send your image files again to same address or give us an alternate eMail address where they could be sent to. In both instances you will adjust filter settings and make sure there is enough available space in your mailbox (both files together can add up to 5MB).

Is There anyway you can ship my magazine cover to my house, or do you only email them? Thank you. (Becky L.)
 

If we were to have our covers printed, properly packaged and shipped (regular air mail), along with handling this would COST us at least $15. We believe nobody would want to pay more than $20 and wait up to 12 days to get a personalized magazine cover when one can get, within 24 hours and for less than $6, a file that he can print at home by himself.

 

How do I make the pic smaller? How do I reecive the pic, how long does it take? (Laura U.)
 

We like working with the largest picture possible… Better results are obtained when picture has to be downsized rather than when it is a small image that needs to be enlarged. Our graphic artist will crop according to selected magazine cover… moreover, if you are not satisfied with the layout, changes will be made without any additional cost.

Your Magazine Cover image will be a 200 dpi (dots per inch) 8.5 x 11 inches pdf file. It will be attached to an email sent to given address. Most of the time, production turnaround is less than 24 hours. As it stands right now, you can expect your cover before the end of the day.

 

I ordered a magazine cover this morning and just realized I may have made a mistake, how can I check? (Brenda W.)

 

Normally, if you do come back to FM when transaction has been completed with PayPal, all gathered data is then included in a confirmation email that is automatically sent to the email address provided. Since it seems you logged out too quickly, wait until you get your cover and if there is a mistake, let us know and it will be corrected at no extra cost.

 

What size should the picture I am sending you be? (Heather K.)
 

You may send any image, any size… We work with all kind of images and we do our best to enhance what we receive; we will let you know if picture quality or size is inadequate.

But we do have preferences; a good picture always yield better results: make sure your main subject is properly lit and stands out (avoid busy backgrounds or him/her in the middle of a group); also, have some "overhead" space so we can easily fit the magazine name on top…(it is easier for us to crop the image than to create missing space above subject's head).

Remember that the magazine cover is vertically oriented… you will put more useful pixels in a "portrait" than a "landscape" oriented picture. If picture you have in mind is not already taken, when you do, hold camera accordingly.

Finally, and most important, transfer a medium to hi-resolution version of your picture; our upload system can handle up to1.5 MB.

 

I ordered from you once before and received the Magazine Cover the same day.  I did not realize their could be up to a 36 hours wait.  I am ordering at the last minute.  The end of the year soccer parties are tomorrow. Could I pay an expedite fee?  I would really like to get the 4 covers that I ordered today so I can get frames, wrap them and give them to the coaches on Sunday. Any help you can give would be great!!!! (Becky D.)
 

You will get your covers today. No extra charge if you promise that you are going to tell all your friends about this site. :-)

 

Please advise where the captions show up on the Time Magazine.
Where are Main Caption, Caption 1 and Caption 2 depicted on the cover in relates to optional message. (Rob M.)

 

All captions on any magazine are positionned according to submitted picture and magazine title style. We will also choose font size, colors, and so on so that the fake cover looks better than the real one :-). You can also give us specific instructions in a "message" box on the Order Form. Moreover, should you not be satisfied with the layout, it will be modified at no extra cost.

 

I would like to submit several requests for magazine covers at the same time rather than submit one request at a time. Is that possible? Is there any discount for multiple magazine covers at the same time? I would like to get 8 different covers. Thank you. (Douglas R.)

 

Our Order form is the most efficient way for you to send and us to collect and process your data, image & payment.

We will submit quote for quantities (20+) when project involves partial changes from page to page: same magazine title, same captions/headlines but different pictures (players of a football team for instance).

 

Do you do rush orders? I can probably get something together by tonight - Could I get image delivery by thursday? (Karen R.)
 

On a clear day, all orders are processed within 24 hours.

 

Everytime i try to order, it keeps giving me error (Gillian O.)

About your image

 


Selecting your photo

SUBJECT

For your fake magazine, choose a picture where your main character stands out. If many people appear in the picture, it should be evident who in the group your subject is.

FORMAT

Your image must be a JPEG file and filesize should not exceed 1.5 MB. Try to send your photo at its best possible resolution but don't worry too much about that: if definition happens to be insufficient, we will contact you to find and agree on a proper alternative.

This is great! Thank you for the revision. I know this is going to be a big hit at the birthday party.

Pat

OMG!! You guys are the BEST! That was it!! Thank you so much for correcting the last name. I thought I had to go back in a pay again...silly me! Thank you again for the fabulous turn around and excellent customer service!

Lori

Hello, Thank you so much for your patience and great service!!! The only thing that I am concerned about is the "Date of Issue," I really need it to be August 19, 2008. This is being used for invitations, but also as a framed keepsake for the birthday girl (which is why I want her actual birthday date printed on the cover). I promise this will be the last request. Your magazines and customer service is awesome...they look like the real thing. I will definitely use you again...and make many referrals. Thank you again... I really appreciate it!!!

Monica

Wow! What a difference in the photos. Thanks for a job well done. Definitely, I look forward to further business orders with you in the future. Again thanks,

Sandra - a very satisfied customer

I am so pleased with my magazine cover. I printed it out on photo paper and it is awesome!I very much appreciate the effort you have put out to help a computer illiterate such as myself.I did not receive these e-mails until the middle of the night, I guess, so please disregard the two phone calls my friend made on my behalf  last evening.I am so delighted about this, I am considering placing another order. Thanks again.
Shirley


This is absolutely fabulous and exceeded my expectations! You'll be hearing from me often and my friends as well. I've done the fake magazine covers from Walgreens and your product is far superior. Thanks very much!

It's awesome ! - I will highly recommend your site ! - Regards,

I really appreciate your customer service in allowing to adjust or fix any mistakes rather leaving as it was sent. I've showed several co-workers the sample wallpaper I requested and everyone thought it was a great idea and wanted to know how I did it. I plan to use this in my upcoming wedding and plan to order a hard copy poster once I have some wedding photos.
Thank you for your assistance!!!
Tricia S.


That’s great ! merci beaucoup !
Julie P.
