My Favorite Cover

This is my favorite cover because Mila Kunis is so pretty! She has a great body, and she definitely grabs attention of others who read the magazine. I think a lot of girls like Starbuck's, so this grabs attention to girls because a lot of people like Mila. I just think this cover was the most interesting, and is pleasing to the eye.

Magazine Covers

Early Magazine Covers

Peterson's Women's Magazine of 1872

Cover lines began to appear within such generic covers in the later 1800s. The popular Peterson's women's magazine of 1872 uses a completely generic cover richly decorated with the leafy symmetry of Victorian embellishments, with a lovely assemblage of drawings at the bottom symbolizing the various roles of woman in the family.

The Poster Cover

Rolling Stone of 2001

Rolling Stone of 2001 could count on readers already to be thinking about the recent death of former Beatle George Harrison, and to be looking forward to the magazine's tribute. The result is a rare example of a pure poster cover without a cover line of any kind.

Pictures Married to Type

Japanese Emag of 1992

Similar examples of magazine covers where loud, colorful cover lines crowd the picture have been identified during this time from Australia, Belgium, France, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, Singapore, Mexico, Sweden, Canada, and India. Strong, large, loud, colorful cover lines that compete with powerful photographs -- became a worldwide phenomenon in the magazines of the millennium.

In the Forest of Words

Vanity Fair of 2001

The images are no longer in the foreground. Cover lines appear in front of the cover models, covering significant parts of their images. We see these beautiful people through the cover lines that surround them, as if they were in the bushes and the bushes were made of words. These are pictures of people who are immersed; at this instant, they are immersed in the topics of the magazine's articles, in the form of cover lines.
