Magazine Part 2

Early magazine covers that were used in the 1700s are very different from the covers that we use now. The covers had the table of contents and/or an opening title page, which is very different from now. The covers were also mostly pictures with very little writing, making it hard for the viewers to know what it was about.

The poster magazine was used from the 1890s to the 1960s. The poster magazine got its name from looking like a poster. The cover included a big and bold title along with a picture. There was very little to no other writing on the cover, making viewers not know what the magazine was about. Poster magazine covers were made to showcase the image, not as much the text.

Pictures Married to Type were used in the 20th century. The pictures were beautiful and shared a message and were meaningful to people. The title was big and bold, and this magazine cover actually had small text on it. The cover had small text that would describe what the magazine was about, making people interested and knowing what they were going to read.

In the forest of the words covers were used in the 1930s to the 2000s. In this cover, the small messages called cover lines became a huge part of covers. In order for people to know what the magazine was about, they could just look at the cover instead of flipping through the magazine. The covers would have a huge image with lots of small messages around the big image.
