Magazine Covers

Early Magazine covers:

at first they didnt even put picture on the covers, they would just put the title and an index, but later they started to do more book type covers with a plan picture and the title. Later they started to more decorated covers, with more detail's and more symbolism for what the magazine is about.

Poster Covers:

They would take a simple picture by itsself and the title above or on the picture. This became the "main" way to make a magazine cover and everybody started to do them as time went on. They say that most of the best covers ever made were poster covers.

Pictures Married to Type:

That is when they would put a little sample of what some of the storys were about on the front cover to get more readers attention. They would put a model on the front, and little lines of words with some of the content that's inside.

In The Forrest of Words:

This is when you have a picte and ontop and around the picture are a lot of diffrent lines from the storys in the magazines. They started doing them around the 1930's and still can be used today. Its not exactly the most "artistic" way, but its still unique in some ways.
