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.
