Fake Magazine Covers for Valentine's Day

Sunday, January 15, 2012 by Michele

Valentine's Day Fake Magazine CoverYou might think that making a fake magazine cover for Valentine's Day might not be the most romantic gift idea you've ever had - but you are wrong! Why? Well, first off you don't really want to be thinking of it as a 'fake magazine cover', the better way to think about it is as a 'personalized magazine cover. What's the difference?  Well fake implies that what you are doing is false or not real which is not the case. The sentiment and emotion is not fake at all. Although it is true that there are not published magazines on the newsstand entitled "Happy Valentine's Day" or "Love of My Life", that doesn't mean that the personalized gift you are creating isn't totally real and wonderful.

So let's get started, first choose which personalized magazine coverLove Fake Magazine Cover you prefer, the LOVE magazine cover or the Valentine's Day magazine cover. The next step is to upload a photo of your sweetheart or a photo of the two of you together.  The last step is to personalize the default headlines to be all about your love and relationship and why you think your honey is the best Valentine you've ever had.

YourCover can print your magazine cover for you (definitely get a frame as it makes the best impression when framed), or you can download the magazine cover to print it yourself.  Either way, with a fake magazine cover from YourCover you'll have the best Valentine's Day gift ever and there's nothing fake about that!

Winter Clean Up?

Friday, January 13, 2012 by Michele
We had a terrific 4th quarter here at YourCover, so much so that our web servers are getting overloaded with saved magazine covers.  Of course we wish that our wonderful users and customers would buy their magazine covers but sometimes it takes a few tries to get the cover just right. In the meanwhile perhaps you've created 2 or 3 that you don't need or you just can't find a photo that works so you move on.

Well, because of all those saved but un-purchased magazine covers, our servers are getting a bit overwhelmed.  Therefore, we will be cleaning out the servers starting on Monday January 16.  Anyone who saved a magazine cover prior to November 30 but did not buy it has received an email letting them know about this cleaning. Any cover saved prior to November 30 but not purchased will be deleted from the servers starting on Monday.

Did you make a magazine cover prior to November 30, 2011?  If so, follow the directions included here to make sure your design is not deleted.

Option 1: Buy your magazine cover
Option 2: LOG IN to your account at YourCover. You will be at your "My Covers" section of your account. Click on "duplicate" beneath the un-purchased magazine cover(s). This newly duplicated cover will have been created after November 30, therefore it will not be deleted.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at support@yourcover.com or give us a call at 877-972-6837 (or 203-563-9288), we're happy to help.
