Life Magazine. October 9, 1913
Early Magazine Covers - first modeled as a book, magazines had covers with titles and table of contents and perhaps a publication date. couldnt tell it was a magazine. small illustration for a decorative look rather than to advertise. didnt have cover lines, many had no covers at all. the article began on the first page.
Vogue, June 1936
The Poster Covers - poster cover had super memorable cover with great illustrations. artistic art dominated graphic design rather than the other photographers work that existed then. these covers were oversized, could of been wall art because it was so big. it revolved around the works of art, contained a small cover line. these poster covers appeared on magazines, didnt really explain the magazine.
Vogue, 1968
Pictures Married to Type - relied on cover lines to attract readers. began constructing a magazine cover with art mixed with cover lines. found new ways of formatting the magazine so it could all tie together. enhanced photo on cover along with putting the right sized font and text. cover lines added alot of hype to how the magazine was viewed. not crazy colors. simple fonts. pictures not overlapping. text wraps around everything. nice and organized.
Fashion September 2010
In the Forest of Words - leads to modern magazine covers, includes intense photography with many cover lines. needs a powerful photo along with powerful cover lines. have models that pose a certain way so they can put in cover lines. affects our views of language and symbols. stands out to how we view things. more text, more colors, stands out to young readers, overwheming looking.
