Magazine Cover

Early magazine cover:
"The Town and country magazine" April, 1788.  Many times these magazines were very dedicated to the opening page to a title and table of contents. 

Poster Cover:
"Rolling Stone" January 2001. The magazine was giving a tribute to the recent death of a former Beatle George Harrison and decided to put a pure poster cover without a cover line of any kind so people remember him. 

Pictures Married to Type: 
"Vogue" May 1968. By this time pictures in covers were in color, there were different fonts of different sizes and new covers. Magazine readers witnessed a revolution to these new and improved magazines. During that time woman, african americans, homosexuals, disabled, working classes became cover stories that struggled for equity. 

In the Forest of Words:
"Guitar World" August 1992. The 21st century cover lines were important to as cover art. Some covers of this period contain cover lines that are actually larger than the name size.
