Magazines Part 2

For the early magazines, they did not have pictures on them but they sometimes had art work printed on them. There were no colors and there was just basic text. They were just regular pieces of paper with information on them, like newspapers.
The poster covers had pictures on the covers. But they only focused on the pictures, there was very little text if not none. It had colors and the titles were not just basic text. They were enlarged and given different shapes and colors.
The picture married to type all had large titles and models on the cover, to bring in people. And they had lines on which the text would lie on.
In the Forrest of Words magazines all had a lot of text. Sometimes the text was so big that it was bigger than the title itself. The pictures were always the background of the photo. What was important was the words it had on the cover, not the photos.

My Favorite Cover

                                                                       "Favorite"

Harper's Bazaar, March 2012: "Gwyneth Revealed"

I think this is my favorite cover because it is so simple. There is not so much of a photo to where you have to look all over the page to see the whole picture. There is one subject and it is smack dab in the middle of the page. Also I like the black and white contrast of her dress and the background of the photo. Also I just like the fact that there is a pretty girl in the photo. Everyone likes pretty girls, so I think that was a good idea to put one on the cover. Also I like the girl in the picture because she was an actress in Iron Man. I like iron man so I like this magazine. Those are the main reasons I like this magazine.

Magazine tips

1. One thing you should always keep in mind when creating a cover magazine is, if the image is interesting enough for the viewers to want to buy them.

2. Make it something that viewers find irresistible, in most cases an attractive woman on the cover does it.

3. Make all the colors on the cover pop so that someone who walks by it can see the colors and be brought in by the dazzling magazine.

4. Make the sentences on the cover short but interesting, so that you can see more of the picture but also so that the words can arouse a viewers curiosity.

5. make the cover something that will sell for sure. Keep it interesting and stimulating so that the viewers do not get bored and do not buy the magazine.
