Notes- Magazine Covers

Cover Types
1. Early Magazine Cover
2. The poster Cover
3. Pictures Married to Type
4. In the Forest of Words

In the Forest of Words-
    a lot of words
    different colors/sizes/fonts
    all over the place
    can be distracting(disadvantage)
    sometimes you don't see the full photo(disadvantage)

Stuff that should be in my magazine cover-
   Title
   photo
   barcode
   price
   date line

Pictures Married to Type-
   less text then forest of words
   most words on one side
   text is involved in the photo
   words go into an empty space in the magazine
   A little boring(disadvantage)
   Not as many entry points(disadvantage)

Poster Cover-
    Only one set of headline
    Headline talks about picture on cover
    small words
    photography has to be really good in order to catch an appeal(disadvantage)

Early Magazine Cover-
    No photo
    Big broad areas of color
    No date line
    No price tag
    No barcode
    Simple
    Topics were ethical and about nature
    Some church related
