Magazines Part 2

1. Early Magazine Covers: They were mainly based off book covers or the article would immediately start and there wouldn't really be a cover. Many illustrations are there for decorative reasons not for the purpose of the magazine. There was no description or teasers to entice the reader to continue on, just the title and publication data. The covers sometimes had symbolic pictures to represent the cover. 
2. The Poster Cover: There isn't a theme or cover lines anywhere on the magazine. The main picture is usually a amazing illustration or a innovative photograph. They all have one main focus, much like many of today's magazine covers. They mostly had one big photo, the title, and the publication data, still not real teasers or descriptions either. 
3. Pictures Married to Type: For this magazine there was a dynamic photo dominating the magazine. The magazine logo was always on the page, and a range of a few to a lot of cover lines on the page. Cover lines were introduced more and used within a lot of magazines to give a teaser but some still deliberately avoided using cover lines. Loud, colorful cover lines became a trend in the magazine industry during the 1990's. 
4. In the Forest of Words: This magazine style drifted from artistic photography and went the way of intense photos. There was definitely colorful cover lines in this magazine style. Certain magazines decided to have a cover line larger than the magazine title to draw even more attention to the magazine. Cover lines would even cover over parts of the photograph and surround them rather than purposely formatting cover lines around the photograph so it wouldn't get covered.
