Magazine cover Part II

1. Early Magazine Covers

-They don't really have a cover, it just starts with the title, or maybe a table of contents, they modeled it a lot after books, some had a simple illustration with just a title, and went straight into the first article. It's the simplest version of a magazine you could ever see.

2. The Poster Cover

-They were magazines with only sometimes a picture because that's all it needed to tell you what it was about. Many of the covers were over-sized, as if they were meant to be hung on a wall like a poster. It was like a way of telling you "a picture is a thousand words" or something like that.


3. Pictures Married to Type
This one was kinda tricky, but I think it's a picture that relates to the main topic of the Magazine, or the big story inside it. So it's a relationship between the picture with a story. So in a way it told the story by just the picture but it wouldn't be ab;e to do it by itself without the words or the story without making sense.

4. In the Forest of Words
I didn't understand this one, it sounded like the poster cover one, except this one was talking more about the words on the cover, and I guess it's like the way the use the words how they type and word things on the cover that make you want to read it. It has a lot to do with the sidebar of words, where most magazines do that, instead of just putting small stories or titles everywhere making it look like jumbled mess.
