magazines pt 2
cover types:
1. image based
Image based covers have a person on the front, whether that be a celebrity or a random person. They are usually facing front and smiling but can be at different angles and have different facial expressions. They sell themselves basically, such as an exclusive interview or never before seen pictures. Another example is them endorsing a product like how some celebrities are associated with certain brands and that's how we know them.
2. illustration based
Illustration based covers are drawn illustrations on magazine covers. More companies used them when magazines were just being published. Not very many magazines go for illustrated covers because photos are easier. Illustration covers are used to present something funny and unique, and the magazines that do use this type of cover don't really rely on sales from being on newsstands.
3. type based
Type based covers have a lot of words on the cover instead of a big picture. The words themselves are the attention grabbers, and magazines depend on them (if they choose to use this type) to sell. They are less popular because of the appeal. In this case, the caption or the title for the story have to be eye-catching and impact the reader in some way in order to be bought or read. If there is a picture, then the words would be bigger and outshine the photo.
4. concept based
Concept based covers are sometimes mixes of all three cover types described above. They have to be able to be understood almost immediately by the reader without much added context which can be sometimes difficult to attain. This type of cover is also rarely seen. The covers have to appeal to everyone and be coherent.
