Cover History

There are four MAIN different types if magazine covers that had there Era and all that jazz.
Like the first, "Early Magazine Covers" mostly they were a title and a drawing, they were very popularback in the 1940 and earlier.
Next, "Poster Magazine Covers" this cover was popular in the 1950s- mid 1960s. it is basically a photo with a title.
Then there's "Pictures Married to Type Magazine Covers" which, is a long name, but it's self explantory, by saying it is a magazine with a photo and words that go with the photo and a title.
Last there's the word junky or "Forest of words magazine covers" this it a magazine that has waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to many "headlines on the front about stories inside the magazine which really have notheing to do with th cover picture behind them. and there's a title.

This Photo to me is a Great Portrait Image because if I didn't know any better, I'd think this was a painting the way the shadows are definite and the Highlights and clouds are almost the same shade of Various amounts of color, That sure is a techneque that Photographers find rediculous, but I as an artist think it's briliant.
