Magazine's Part 2

Early Magazine Covers:
The first covers only contained basic information like the title and publication information of the magazine. Some covers resembled the covers of books with a symmetrical layout, one picture in the middle all centered while others contained a typical pictured that had to do with the content of the magazine.

The Poster Cover:
Although this cover was not the only cover available during its time, this cover dominated. Many of the professional illustrators in this era learned from the Art Norveau movement. The photo on a poster cover is so large that it looks like it should be framed. To accommodate the photo size, the magazine's were made oversized.

Pictures Married to Type:
Cover lines lured the consumers into wanting to buy the magazine more than the pictures could do. By the 1800s cover lines were common and From the 1970's on the cover lines were made much smaller and were fit into extra space on the front rather than invading the whole cover.

In the Forest of Words:
This over has more intense photography and bold cover lines. Some of the covers in this time period had cover lines that was a larger font size than the title of the magazine. Models and celebrities today rent the places on their body that text promoting the contents of the magazine contains can be placed.
