Magazines Part 2

Early Magazine:
The main attributes of early magazine covers are known as table of contents, most look like the covers of books, with only a title and publication data. Others had a generic illustration in a symbolic manner to show the spirt of publication without describing the content of the book. The symbols on the front cover are based on the Bible since people in the 1700s and 1800s were really religious and church-going. Cover lines were extremely rare in those times because they began with an article on the font page. Over time cover lines began to appear as generic cover with symbolism as well. There were many exterminations on deciding if there shall be cover lines and the placement of them.
Poster Cover: 
Through the 1890s to the 1960s there was predominately only one type of cover page. The poster cover, was produced many memorable covers and is looked up as the standard against which all other kinds of covers must be measured. There began to pay illustrators to decorate the cover with the aid of a small army of skilled engravers on the oversized magazines. Most of the illustrations didn't hardly relate to the actual magazine. It was just something to catch the eye. Through time photos were used to to show the cover in the 20th century.Poster covers still appear in magazines that seem to be secure with their readers or on special occasions that can be symbolized to readers by a single, large image.
Pictures Married to Type
By the 1910's cover lines started including a large title with the model's face overlapping it, having a model in an unusual and expressive posture, or having cover lines on all sides of her, carefully positioned in relation to the model and the background. There is a primary and a secondary set of cover lines. An effective secondary cover line appears at the bottom of the picture, in contrasting type and color. Experiments continued in the placement of cover lines, and in unusual covers especially in fashion magazines. 
In The Forest of Words
 Cover lines have taken over the cover space, forcing the model to withdraw to a smaller image, to interleave with the words, to fold up to make room for the announcement of contents, or to become a billboard. Cover lines appear in front of the cover models, covering significant parts of their images. We see these beautiful people through the cover lines that surround them, as if they were in the bushes and the bushes were made of words. These are pictures of people who are immersed; at this instant, they are immersed in the topics of the magazine's articles, in the form of cover lines.

New York, February 18–25, Spring Fashion

"New York’s “Spring Fashion” cover with actress Elle Fanning has artist Will Cotton revisiting Johannes Vermeer’s famous painting “Girl With a Pearl Earring” in pose, expression, and lighting, while Fanning’s Vivienne Westwood–inspired headpiece made of icing and designed by Cotton prepares readers for the stunning “Candy Land” portfolio inside the magazine. Cotton has been using candy in his artwork “as a metaphor for pure pleasure” since the late nineties, and used spring looks as inspiration for New York."

The cover itself is very elegant and attractive to the eye. The style of hair really makes the magazine stand out because of its uniqueness and cleverness. The wording on the cover doesn't stand out, solemnly focusing on the portrait. Though the portrait is stunning the only thing besides that, that stands out is her name. If there was a better indication of what the content would be inside the magazine. The lighting hits right on the main focus point, really bring out the slight pink in her checks and the paleness of her skin. The magazine overall creates an interesting new look at Spring Fashion and makes the readers interested on the magazine's take on it.

Magazine Tips

Five things I learned from reading the article is to not rely on the cover page virtually. It is preferred that once printed out, compare to other magazines to see the finish product. One thing to consider when drafting the magazine is to ensure that your magazine is unique and stands out. To grab readers attention make the words efficient, fast, and easy to scan. Another thing to make sure of when creating a magazine cover is to pull readers in by arousing curiosity and promises benefits.
