Magazines Part II

Early Magazine covers

Made differently than normal, and really just focus on putting titles and table of contents. Some copies looked more like book covers. They later added pictures or more like drawings to some on the covers. These types were very simple and most in black and white.

The Poster Cover

This kind of cover introduced magazines that put artists' drawings on the front of their magazines. These covers would normally take up the whole page almost like posters. There weren't many words included on the front. There was normally just the title and a short explanation of what it was about.

Pictures married to type

These covers really focused on the balance between their words and their main focus (the model/picture) They would include a model a lot of the time and they would somewhat "interact" with it by overlapping it, and all around the model would be the titles and writing to stories in the magazine, and they would kind of shape the model and just go all around them.

In the Forest of words

This cover deals with a lot of words to draw people in with their words. They would create different poses and photos too to also draw them in. They would include lots of titles, and some even larger than the title. In these, a lot of the time the words overlap some of the image.
