Magazines pt2

1. Early Magazine Covers
These magazines were close to books. Many of the magazines had no covers, though there could be a small picture on the front. There was no really explanation on what to expect inside. These covers were really bland. Later on, The covers began to add more visuals and shows what you would be looking at. They were not very specific on what you were going to read, its just seemed like a brief overview of the sections.

2. The Poster Cover
The photos began adding art to the covers, becoming more interesting.They told the reader what they would be reading inside. They were descriptive because of the image on the front. In 1936, LIFE added a strong black and white photo to their cover; Other magazines soon started following what LIFE has done.

3. Pictures Married to Type
These magazines seemed to have a specific theme to them. There were usually models in an unusual position overlapping the large title on the cover. The details of the magazine were to the sides of the subject, showing what the magazine is to be expected of. I noticed that there seemed to be more woman on the covers and how they seemed to be boxed in with information over time.

4. In the Forest of Words
These magazines seem to be more into our culture and they try to show us how to "benefit" our lives. They seem to have more dramatic covers and it seems to pull us into what we want to see rather than the real events going around.
