Magazines Part 2

Early Magazine Covers:
Early magazine covers were usually a title and a table of contents or they were modeled over book covers and had a title and publication date. They also sometime added a small black and white picture or drawing that was for a decretive purpose. Often times there was no cover at all and they began the article on the first page.

The Poster Cover:
The poster cover was a picture someone drew that took up the entire magazine cover. Often times the picture had no relevance to any of the articles in the magazine and was just there for a decretive purpose. People still do posters covers now but with actual photographs that san relate to the content in the magazine.

Pictures Married to Types:
This relied on cover lines to draw the reader in. They also covered part of the magazine name with the model placed in interesting poses. They made the title more fancy and interesting and added cover lines down the sides of the magazine.

In the Forest of Words:
In this type the word were just as important as the pictures. They had large words and a large amount of words on the cover that said what was in the magazine. They still have large pictures but they don't often necessarily have to do mush with the content of the articles.
