Magazines Part II

1. Early Magazine Covers: In the 1700's, often magazines tended to have table of contents and a title as their cover page. Later, the cover started to look like books. They would have a title and publications but nothing about what the magazine was about. Another type of cover, the symbolic cover, was used to say why the magazine was about without telling what was in the magazine. later, cover lines and other picture were added to the covers. 
2. The Poster Cover: The cover used in 1890's to 1960's. The cover were simply just pictures without any headlines table of contents. The pictures were said to not have anything to do with what the article in the magazine was about. The images were usually not covered by the logo and gave a certain mood to the publication. 
3. Pictures Married to Type: Covers that had headlines to draw the reader's attention.  The covers usually had a model in a pose; cover lines on the sides and bottom, and a large title. The images had the models in unusual body position until the 1960’s where the photos started being face portraits. Often magazines started to include captions to go with the photos. These types of covers are still used today.

4. In the Forest of Words: when there is picture in the background but there are words everywhere covering the image. The cover is covered in headlines, subheadlines, and captions. sometimes the headlines were larger than the title of the magazine. The texts were often in bright colors that stood out from the title of the magazine and the photograph in the background.
