Have you ever wanted to be on a magazine cover?
Of course you have - who hasn’t?
But the probability of you actually getting there is slim to none.
Sorry for bursting your bubble but chances are you’re not going to be famous.
CoverDude lets you create awesome looking custom magazine covers (albeit fake ones) very easily.
Even though the magazines are not real pretty darn cool looking.
All you need is an internet connection and a computer.
The site is very easy to use and a well trained monkey could probably use it.
But I don’t know which cover a monkey would pick".but I digress.
Let’s check out the site.
I browsed on over toCoverDudeand got down to it.
Yes you sitting in front of your rig reading this article can be on your very own magazine cover!
How cool is that?
Next we will need to pick a template.
These templates are essentially magazine covers with a blank cutout of a person.
Your picture will be laid under this image like a layer in Photoshop.
Each of the templates are listed in the screenshots above and below.
This is a close up of one of the covers.
you might see it shows where your image will go.
This will become more apparent below.
After selecting your cover template, it is time to upload your image.
The smaller the image the quicker it will upload (obviously).
I worked with a PNG file saved using PNG-8 in Photoshop that worked dumb quick.
Simply tap on the white field labeled click here to upload a photo.
Once your image is uploaded you will see a screen allowing you to make some modifications to your image.
Mine was already modified so I just moved it around a little with my mouse to center it.
When I was done I hitpreviewand saw my cover up close and personal.
