Types of Magazine Covers

Cover types

1. Early Magazine Covers- Almost always paintings, very religious, high moral.
2. The poster Cover- One big picture, no border. small text, less text, the text doesn't interfere with the photo. The picture has to be really good or very recognizable. Disadvantages: the cover doesn't really help you to tell you what the magazine is about.
3. Pictures Married to type- The words help the photo, does not interfere with the picture.advantage: you can see the photo more. The words and the picture go together. Disadvantages: You don't know what else is in  there and there aren't many entry points into the magazine.
4. In the Forest of Words- Tons of text on the picture. Also lot's of colors, different font and sizes. Disadvantages: too many words, too much to look at, also covers your photos.

FAVORITE!

#9 Harpers Bazaar (September 1992)
Harpers Bazaar, which debuted in 1867 as Americas first fashion magazine, celebrated its 125th anniversary in 1992, and the September 1992 issue under legendary Editor-in-Chief Liz Tilberiss direction heralded one of the most dramatic magazine reinventions in history. Tilberis helped transform the magazine from an also-ran fashion magazine into the one of the most cutting-edge and experimental of the big fashion glossiesillustrated by the creative typeface and avant-garde image of Linda Evangelista on the September magazine cover.

Critique!

This portrait is very well done. The focus and the way the picture is centered is very well done. Also the way the person is posing and how it only shows like half of her body but mostly the head, which is good. One thing that the portrait is missing is the background. Maybe if it had a little color to it, it would really be an attention getter! I love the way the put her hand up as she was grabbing the letters when they are falling. The brightness of the photo is good and also the composition. Instead of the background being white, it could've been like faded or something like that but other than that this is a very good portrait/ magazine cover!

5 things to be thinking about when designing a magazine cover:

1. Familiar recognition from issue to issue (that’s the brand)

2. Emotionally irresistible (that’s the image’s appeal)

3. Arousing curiosity (that’s to pull the casual glancer in)

4. Intellectually stimulating, interesting (that’s to promise benefits)

5. Efficient, fast, easy to scan (that’s showing off the service)

2010

I like this photo because of the color and how the ocean looks.

I like this photo because of its depth. I like how it is focused and all you can see is the snow and pinguins.

I like this picture because, I like the colors in it.


Favorite song of 2010 is firework by Katy Perry, because the lyrics are very meaningful and i love the strong beat.  I love this artist she has an awesome voice and i just love all of her songs because we can all relate to it in some way.

My favorite movie of 2010 was Grown Ups! This movie was absolutely hilarious! I loved every minute of it and i can watch it anytime i'm feeling down to cheer me up.

One of the biggest News in 2010 was the earthquake in Haiti. People all around the world were concerned and were helping this poor country.

One of the most important people in 2010 was Lady gaga. She has become one of the most famous people in hollywood.
