blog #4 - magazine part 2

1. Early Magazine Covers
Early magazine covers are just what they sound like; old, early, and nothing like you would see today. They have big bold inky fonts and paper that looks like coffee has been spilled on it, and someone has crumpled it up and tried to flatten it out. The newspaper has a black and white color scheme and a little design.
2. The Poster Cover
The poster cover magazine design is primarily a picture. the page has an eye drawing design or picture full of color, or something abstract that gives off an emotion. The picture has a title above it, and sometimes a small captain underneath it or in the photo itself. This approach is much more artistic, and can be a little much if not done correctly.
3. Pictures Married to Type
Pictures married to type is a new and cool way to incorporate your picture/design into the actual title and words of your magazine cover. You can still read the words, and still see the picture, yet this is a cool and modern way to tie the two elements of the magazine layout together to make a more cohesive cover page, and grab attention from costumers. Personally, this is a great way to give your cover page a little something extra.
4. In the Forest of Words
In the Forest of Wolds the magazine designer is really taking the photos and layout and words of the cover page…and making them go deep into specific people cultures, interests, and ways of life. It is a different and personal approach to creating a magazine cover page and I think people truly appreciate it when done well and the photo does the issue justice.
