magazine NOTES

cover types
1. early magazine covers--No photo hard to reproduce lots of color very simple not a whole lot going on.
2. the poster cover--a big picture, small words and one set of headlines(describes specifically that photo) does not have a bar code. includes a date. one photo, small byline!! has to be a really good picture or else its not very appealing to consumers.
3. pictures to married to type--less words, less color, the text is involved into the photo.not as many entry points.
4. in the forest of words--simple background. lots of words. colorful words different fonts! different sizes all over! could be distracting and sometimes you dont get to see the full photograph.


Stuff that should be on my magazine cover:
Title
maybe words
main subject
barcode
price
dateline( issue)
