Magazines part 2

early magazine covers- They just showed the title on the cover did not show any pictures at all. gave only title. had kina like the set up of books. no information of what was inside of the magazine. also it only showed the publication date. if it did have pictures it would be a symbol of something like unity, family, love, friendships, or hate depending on what the publisher was trying to promote.

the poster cover-from the 1890's to 1960's there was one picture that well sort of dominated the magazine world. the poster cover. a cover that needed no words. the picture described all that there was to say about the magazine. the covers almost looked as if the were to be frame and mounted on your wall. they were such beautiful pieces of art.

Johnson and Prijatel define the poster cover as one in which "there are no cover lines, or themes announced, and the image generally is not covered by the logo... Most poster covers between 1890 and 1940 didn't even relate to a story inside the magazine. Rather the poster cover depicted a season or conveyed a general mood"

Pictures married to type-this was when the publisher would use the artwork on the cover and overlap it with the main title of the magazine. it got really famous in the late 20th century. the model was usually in a awkward strange, but expressive posture.

in the forest of words- in this style of magazine cover art the model is underneath a lot of word like the title, subtitle, topics, and what the magazine has to offer.

For most magazines at the turn of the 21st century, cover lines were as important as cover art. In some cases, cover lines and cover art improvised a new, vigorous, almost shocking dance with one other.

Winner
OnEarth, March 2011: "Arctic Fever"
(Photo Illustration by Tia Magallon)

The editors’ description of the cover: "This provocative photo illustration by Tia Magallon for our ‘Arctic Fever’ cover story addresses the environmental disruptions caused by climate change. One such consequence: melting sea ice is dissolving the natural barrier between two bear species, the polar and the grizzly, for the first time in 10,000 years. Indeed, there has been evidence of their interbreeding. So ‘fever’ refers both to rising Arctic temperatures--a symptom of an unhealthy environment—as well as a droll nod to these bears' amorous fever."

this is my favorite magazine cover because it shows the beauty of nature and the animals who live in it. here you have two species of bears that cold kill you in one blow, but here they are looking as cuddly as puppies. i like how the photographer ued the lighting in this photo because it givr it a nice happy mood and it get your attention because its bright.you see this photo and due to its colors doesnt scare you but it catches your eye and kinda pulls you into it.
