magazine cover styles

cover types
1. early magazine covers
a.always had drawings on the covers and were very simple and had a moral theme to them and sometimes had a religious theme to them
2. the poster cover
a really big picture that covers the hole cover and only a little bit of word and its all about one topic words on cover relates to cover and nothing else and the pictures need to be visually appealing to the buys
b. the picture could be boring to you hard to know what the magazine is about if the picture is not good people are not going to buy them.
3. pictures married to type
a. they complement each other the words and the pictures do this.tells you whats going on in the photo and what you can expect to see inside the magazine. use two pictures and mix together.
b.boring so less pints of entry so less buyers no exiting colors words fonts and pictures.the picture has to be appealing
4. in the forest of words
a. a lot of words on the cover. bold words and non bold words.different words and in different colors and fonts lots of points of entry or entry points lots of ads to get you to want to read and buy a magazine.
b.but it messes up the photo because there are so many words and some times there is too much stuff going on the cover.


stuff every magazine cover has- the title of the magazine some sort of art picture a date
