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.
