#7 National Lampoon: National Lampoon quickly grew in both popularity in 1970s, when it regularly skewered pop culture, counterculture and politics with recklessness and gleeful bad taste. The notorious January 1973 shot of a human hand holding a revolver to the head of a docile-looking dog, who suspiciously eyes the firearm with a sideways glance, was photographed by Ronald G. Harris and is the magazine’s most memorable cover.

I like this picture, the backround looks realy plain and simple with the black and white dog there, good contrast, Good rule of thirds and even the title makes it look awsome. Some what leading lines with the dogs eyes or the guy to the dog. Some framing in the picture. Funny humor with the caption "If you dont buy this magazie, We'll kill this dog"

Cover history

Early Magazine Covers

This Early Magazine Cover only has a drawing and the title of the magazine, mostly all of the early covers had this style. Some didnt even have Covers it was just the begining of a story on the front. This magazine is cool, the front pillars illistrate life and mother hood.











The Poster Cover

From

From 1890 to 1960, a cover was owning everyone else in the magazine field. It was not the only kind of cover to be found. This poster cover produced so many memories on so many issues of so many magazines that it is sometimes looked upon as the standard against the rest!








Pictures Married to Type

This type of cover started to break new ground, by adding pictures and words together on a cover, the stunning picture caught your eye and the small sentences showed what the contents of the inside where about, a mini table of contents if you will.









In the Forest of Words

Ok, first fo all... DAMN! This is what most current magazines do, have a picture of a hot topic..or hot girl, and add many many sentences to try to get you to buy the magazine. The forest of words in like a table of contents on the cover, this Maxim magazine shows 2 wemon in swim suits and maby they will have adds on the inside about swimsuits or what swimsuit is hot this season.

Annie Leibovits


My favorite Annie Leibovits photo is "John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd, Hollywood, 1979" I like this photo because it verry good framing and the black an white suits with the light green and blue is good contrast. There is leading lines behind the gentelmen on the backround going strait down to them. All in all its a great plain yet colorfull photo

AA read, gordon hughes

Ennui

Its such a

Bore

Being Poor.


Hughes poem

Rule of thirds, lighting, some framing, its a very good picture, foreground is in focus but the backround is out of focus, it shows contrast of colors with the young free women in white with the eldrly women covered in black.
