early magazine covers - they are really simple. they are like book covers; title and publication data.
they also had cover lines which were like little sub titles of whats in the
magazine. and they had picture symbols of what they stand for. like if they
were a strong hold then the had pillars.
poster covers - from 1890's- 1960's. they were magazines that needed no words. they had a main
picture on the front. the picture needed no words like it explained it all. pictures are
worth a thousand words. there are no cover lines or themes and the logo does not cover
the image.
Pictures married to type - they have cover lines, large title, and model that is in an unusual pose.
placement matters in the pictures married to type magazines. if it is not
positioned the right way, it can look really messy. also the placement and how
the model looks draws in the person to look at it, and when they see the cover
lines, its like a teaser so the person will look inside the magazine and buy it.
the forest of words - it has cover lines, large title, and models. sometimes the cover lines were larger
than the title to bring in the audience. sometimes they would have the picture really
large and provocative so the men audience would pick it up. most of the time the
models were to pose in ways that make it look like the cover lines were supposed
to be in that place.
