Blog #4- Magazines Part II

1. Early Magazine Covers-

These covers don't have color, probably because it was really expensive or not possible to print in color yet. Also, if a picture is available, it is usually very small and there are a lot of words on the cover. The titles are also not as big as they usually are nowadays.

2. The Poster Cover-

These covers are cool because they don't have any of the article previews on the side like magazines do nowadays. The front cover is filled from corner to corner with a photo. The photo does the talking in these covers because the photos are usually eye catching and contain vibrant colors to make up for the lack of words.

3. Pictures Married to Type- 

These portraits are eye catching because of the twisted fashion of the model's body. In the 60's these type of covers changed to a close up portrait of a model's face with a very expressive look on their face. This creates a very intriguing image to look at. 

4. In the Forest of Words-

The cover lines draw as much attention as the actual photo in some cases. The models are immersed in the cover lines like shrubbery in a forest. They become one with the topics. When literature and photography work together it creates something excellent.
