Cover History

As far back as magazine covers go, they began as very simplistic and straightforward pictures of whatever the magazine was supposed to portray, it was commonly used as a decoration technique. Words were at a minimal and only refrained to the title or subject in the magazine. Then magazine covers evolved into the the poster cover, in which the cover of a magazine contained simply a picture of the subject of that particular issue. Then came Pictures Married to Type. In this case, the cover of the magazine contained both a picture of it's subject and a title pertaining to its picture, in which case, the topic of that volume could be identified interchangeably through picture or headline. Finally we have The Forest of Words. The Forest of Words contains series of Headlines, sub-headlines, and as well the cover portrait or picture. This gives a detailed overlook of what you will be expected to find within the magazine.
