Magazines part 2

          For the Early magazine covers they modeled the covers to look like the book covers. The cover only gave a idea of what was in the magazine. Then later on illustrations used for decorative. like painting or drawing.
          The poster covers became more popular. The illustration didn't need that many words. The picture gave the big idea of what the magazine was about.
          Pictures married to type the art cover sticked. The large tittle get attention. Little writing and the picture tells everything the tittle echoes with the picture.
         In the forest of words side bars summarize the whole magazine. Detail analyzed on the magazine cover.
