__Questions (Evolution of the Magazine Cover)__

1. Early magazines were either black & white or a Painting or both, had a picture of someone's face, & it had a very basic design. 2. The Poster Cover is usually based on the main story of the magazine & is the best picture to represent the story. 3. The purpose of the cover line is to grab the eye of the reader so they will be interested in reading the magazine. 4. An Integrated Cover is when the the Cover lines & the picture are balanced together & it is visually interesting. 5. The placement of the cover lines can effect how the reader thinks about the magazine, & what the lines mean. 6. = = = =
 * Outside the box cover lines: The simplest method for combining pictures with cover lines is to keep them in separate areas of the covers. A box contained the title, another box contained the picture, a third box contained cover lines or other publication data.
 * Inside the box cover lines: Lines that share the space of the picture.
 * Column cover lines: Columns share the space with the picture. The column usually contains a table of context, ads for articles in the magazine & other info.
 * Zone cover lines: Early magazines tended to place these zones into separate boxes, but later designers eliminated many of the confining and decorative lines on covers.
 * Banners & corner lines: Banners seem to belong to attention-grabbing "loud" covers, and have been used little, or in restrained ways, by successful, mainstream publications.
 * Unplanned & Planned Spaces: When cover lines appear in the taken image & can either be purposely placed or not purposely placed.
