magazine cover

"mother magazine" 1844- was an example of a third kind of cover that was common in the first two centuries. it is also a symbolic manner to evoke the spirit of the publication. the magazine illustrates the "family" with the pillars, the arch, and the fountain. The earlier generations customarily read the bible, and pictures, as allegorical messages required active interpretation.

"vanity fair" 1933- the magazine was produced a succession of framable poster covers throughout the 30's.  it was under the direction of M.F Agha and was a very political cover in that time.

"cosmopolitan" 1940 and 1950s- this shows how far a designer could go without becoming mired in the color separations and trappings. most magazines express their cover lines quietly in the type that does not intrude much upon the picture. Also experiments continued in the placement of cover lines, and in unusual covers.

"mary kate and ashley" 2001- this example has almost to no cover lines, and still rare. 92 percent of the covers used vivid , large, prominent cover lines. the cover lines flooded the space, forcing the model to withdraw to a smaller image, to interleave with the words to hold up to make room for the announcement of contents, or to become a billboard.

my favorite cover

this cover has good lighting, and shows a lot the passion of the U.S soccer team and their victories.
the cover photo has a good rule of simplicity, by just focusing on the goal keeper. This is definitely an environmental portrait, because she doesn't know the picture is taken at that moment, and their is no specific way to model the photo. Other than that i think this cover is one of the best and my favorite from all of 2012's cover photos.
