Magazine Covers

Early Magazine Cover

Cosmopolitan, published 1893, shows a commonly used way that magazines of his period used the cover to show the table of contents, a cover line or two, and the name of the magazine.

The Poster Cover

Rolling Spirit published January 2001. This cover doesn't need flashy headlines or hooks to catch the reader's attention. The reader is automatically wanting to learn more of George Harrison's death. It's an intriguing method of publication. 

  married to type

This late 1972 issue of Vogue, has so many words that distracts from the cover photo. Vogue even underlined certain sentences, as if to say " This is important, You have to read this!! " For me, personally, there are just way too many words.

In The Forest Of Words

This Guitar World published in August 1992 is just completely engulfed in words, designed specifically to catch the reader's attention, telling the reader that information is a fountain of knowledge in this magazine.

My Self Portrait


I think for the masthead I'm going to put Topman OR Vogue, one of those two.
