Magazine Cover Types

Cover Types: 1. Early Magazine Covers.

 2. The Poster Cover
Very few texts, The picture is the most dominant piece,  very apeiling.  In general they would have a page number that you would go to. In a poster cover magazine it must be a cool photo, or something that everybody knows. Disadvantages of poster cover could be boring, doesnt tell you whats inside the magazine.
3. Pictures Married to Type
Characteristics of this cover is that the words dont cover up important parts of the photo. The words relate to the picture of the cover, and they tell us what we see in the magazine. Work together  and help each other out.  Disadvantages is it may not be apeiling to the rest of the inside magazine(mases)
4. In The Forest of Words
Lots of words organized in headline style and sub headlines. Healines are smaller. Different Fonts. 1 mager photo, and smaller photo. The picture is not the most important element. It has multiple sets of entry. Disadvantages. Two major disadvantages and takes away the photo.



 Stuff That Should be on my Magazine Cover.
