Magazine Covers

The Town and Country Magazine; Universal Repository;of Knowledge, Instruction, and Entertainment

1788

Mid 1700’s was when the first magazine covers were published.  The covers didn’t have anything that would identify what the inside o the magazine would contain. Instead, they would have a small introduction/headline on the very top of the cover. Rather than having tons of picture on the cover, they only had one particular drawing that didn’t have anything to do with the topics the magazine will talk about.

Fortune

1930

In the 1890-1960’s , the magazine was judged by it’s poster cover. These oversized posters seemed as if they would be hung up like a frame on the wall. With the art shown in the magazine cover, there would be a small cover line announcing the theme, but from the large portrait, the cover line seems hidden and unnoticed.

Vogue

1968

In late 1800’s, cover lines were common. By early 1900’s, cover lines started the ongoing dialogue. A large title pretty much covered most of the top part of the cover, while the model is photographed in a nearly full body pose. In addition, the models have an unusual and expressive posture.

Guitar World

1992

8% In The Forest Of Words types of magazine is bold graphic covers with no more than a modest cover line. The other 92% use vivid, large cover lines. In addition, the image and the cover lines overlap and the models poses in way that allows room for multiple lines to be added afterwards.
