Magazine 2

Early magazine covers
  In the development of early magazine covers, they tended to model them like the covers of books. There wasn't any words, or information about what the magazine would contain. The picture of the magazine later was known to be seen, and gives a reader a sense of what it was about. Cover lines were not really rare, many magazines didn't even have a cover.


The Poster Cover
  In a period of time there was one cover that introduced later magazine covers which was a poster cover. These covers looked like they were to be printed and put on walls. The cover is displayed to introduce the magazine. Poster cover has became the dominant cover on most magazines in this century.

  This cover draws readers in a more different way then most covers could. Cover lines were then originated in most of these cover. These were then made for persuasion and were made to speak to readers. The import ants of cover lines were to innovate people, and entertain. This cover line was mostly used on these covers and started to introduce more of cover lines. 


In the Forest of Words
  In 1937, these covers were then introduces to the designs of covers. Some contained cover lines that are the same size as the name of the Magazine. These made the magazine cover very powerful for the readers, and took intense photographs for the front picture. They added large numbers of cover lines to the front of the magazine.
