Cover History

Early Magazine Covers

This is a magazine cover coming from the mid 1700's. This is a very early edition of what was called a magazine, even though it doesn't appear much like todays magazine covers that we know. The so called cover wasn't really what i call a cover but the table of contents, the table of contents is the front page.

















The Poster Cover



This cover is from the year "1929", a magazine that is filled with outdoor activities and much more about the outdoor life. The cover is much more updated and as a painted photo of a lynx. There is still somewhat differences in this cover with todays magazine.

















Pictures Married To Type

A cover in the 1940's-1950's, very deatiled as in wording and pictures used or picked for the cover. In this time the front cover photo had a quote or "caption" that went with the photo. Various color and wording were used for advertisment and to grab the peoples attention.















In The Forest Of Words


Now this is a much better update on how todays magazine looks like. MANY advertisment is used all over the cover and a bold title for the company of the magazine, to show where the magazine is coming from.

Please read this e-mail and send it to your friends.

Hello, my name is Estela, I live in MedellĂ­n, Colombia. Two weeks ago my father was kidnapped and the colombian police can do nothing about. The kidnappers sent us a message whit a photo of my father and asking for US$ 100,000.00 for rescue.

My family don´t have that amount of money. I thought if ten thousand people, of the billons in the world, donate only US$10 We can pay my father's rescue. If not, we could raise some money for the rescue.

Please help us to get my father back.

I opened a PayPal account for receive donations. This is the link:
