Magazine Part II

Image Based: A picture of a person(s) looking at the camera and usually smiling.  This kind of cover is found on mostly celebrity and fashion magazines. The photo doesn't always have the person smiling and the photo can also be at a slight angle.

Illustration Based: Not usually used but The New Yorker always has a illustration cover. An illustration cover is used to present something funny or out of the ordinary so it stands out next to other magazines. Some companies use illustrations as their covers but they are computer generated.

Type Based: Rare cover but used more the illustrations. These covers tend to be shocking and striking. They seem like this because of how the way of how the type looks and presents itself.

Concept Base: Used to present a strong message or just meant to be funny. These kinds of covers also have to be able to be understandable to the audience when they see it. Usually seen in business, news weekly, or independent magazines.


The relationship between words and photos on a magazine cover is that they both convey a idea to the audience when they look at it. This is important because you can use either to convert what you want for your magazine cover.
