Magazine Cover Notes

Cover Types:
1. Early Magazine Covers
2. The Poster Cover
3. Pictures Married to Type
4. In the Forest of Words

What makes a Forest of Words?
Different font size, different colors, placed in different spots, and different font style. Want to focus on the person on the picture but the words cath your attention-distracting. Sometimes you don't see the full photograph.

What makes Marride to Type?
Less color. Words on one side. Less font types. The text is involved in the picture. Can be a little boring and not as many entry points.

What makes The Poster Cover?
Small words and a picture. The set of words talk about the image. (Smithsonian and Studio Photography & Design Magazine's don't have bar codes...most of the time). Has to be a really really good photo to catch people's attention to buy it.

What makes an Early Magazine Cover?
Had no photo. Mostly paintings and drawings. Big color spots (big areas of color). No date line, no prize, no bar code. Prettty simple. Subject matters were church related, good and evil, etc.
