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.

Akins, Building, Happy

 I thought this picture worked with the "Akins" theme because, everyone knows the fishbowl, every morning, or after lunch, or through passing periods, this is where most kids are.
 I really like how my "Building" picture came out, I would've liked it better in color, but either way. I thought it fit the theme because when I was in middle school, This building of the school is the one I recognized all the time.
 Okay, so between this picture, and the bottom picture I couldn't decide with was happy, but I ended up picking the obvious one, which was the Smile one, I mean a smile means Happy, but the bottom was really funny, I thought something funny, laughter, is what makes you smile which is Happy.
