So it seems One Click Chicks Magazine has an opening for a new editor-in-chief?

That can be you, Here's a tutorial that hopefully helps some curious husband or OCC member step into the role!

Here, I'm going to use the legendary Chelle as our cover model.


The original image is cropped from 4928x3264 to 1000x755.

The cropped image is placed in the Microsoft Photos app

- Click edit
- then, Background
- then, remove

And the background is removed. save as copy, make sure it's PNG

Find a background for your magazine cover. In this case I will go with a gradient pink background

Open up Photoscape X (It is a paid app but is available for free with some options behind a paywall, don't worry, you won't need those).

Resize the background to 1000 (height) and 755 (width) and go to save -> and save as

Now that your background has been resized and your cover model has the background removed you can add her to the new background. Click on "insert" and "image" and find the image of the woman, who's background you removed. Right click and find "scale" and "fit".


Now add the magazine title or masthead, the One Click Chicks font is called One Stroke Script and the font size is 165.

On the left side of the page there will be a layers option, you can have the text infront or behind the woman.
Use a different text and add the month and year on either the left or right size under the magazine's title.

The woman's name will be the lead article, in this case "Chelle" you can add a tagline above or below it.

Then you can add other article titles and a barcode for realism.

Finally, go to save and then save as and your magazine cover is complete.
