Magazine Cover

Portrait and Self Portrait

Magazines Part II

1. Early Magazine Covers - They were drawn on or inc was used. They were black and white. Also used a lot of words.
2. The Poster Cover - First to have color. They used pictures of mostly people. Huge pictures with not a lot of words.
3. Pictures Married to Type - These had a lot of fashion. A good amount of color. They also used them to get the word out about business.
4. In the Forest of Words - These just seem to be about gossip. Also used a lot of celebrities in the pictures.

My Favorite Cover

Portrait - OUT - Informal 

Photography by Richard Phibbs

"Seldom does a cover come together at the perfect time, in such a way as to symbolize the whole story. Sam had come out—the first professional football player to do so—and the hysteria had prompted a backlash. The shoot happened first, and the interview subsequently, giving us a perfect snapshot of a man whose sexuality had come to define his every move in the eyes of the media. The cover image showed Sam in all his magnificence and vulnerability, and so we used just his draft pick number as a head, to sum up Sam’s historical significance."

I really like this cover because I really like how they did the lighting. I also really like the background. Some cool things they did was make the man fade into the background. The title is placed really well. Another cool thing is the other words on the cover look like he has it tattooed on.
