Maganize part 2

1. Early Magazine Covers started around 1700 and lasted till the mid 1800's. The first page was usually the table of context and after that had a more book like layout. The cover of the magazine sometimes was modeled after books covers or even trying to show symbolical meanings in them. Eventually these magazines where more of newspapers only in a bit different format.

2. The Poster Cover where from 1890's to the 1960's. These magazines where much more like posters. The images on the cover where the main focus, like many covers today. Little words where placed on the cover, aside from the title of course and perhaps a notice about a story inside as well. In fact, these covers are still used today.

3. Pictures Married to Type are of the 2000's design but started in the early 1900's This is probably the most commonly used type of magazine cover.  This style also was the first to show the subject (model) overlapping the title of the magazine. This is the design of which most magazines are based off of. With many headlines and a portrait of a model in the center.

4. In the Forest of Words technically started in the 1930's, but these where more of examples. This style took a much bigger hit in the magazine world in the 1990's and onto the 20th century. This design layout involves the subject (model) being overlapped by an assortment of headlines and like the name hints at is being "hidden" or "lost" in the forest of words. The image is still very much visual but it almost blends in with the cover.
