Intro to Newspaper Design

This Newspaper was my favorite because it doesn't seem to have any sad news on it
It is from Bremen, Germany
The name "Weser Kurier" is fun to say
It looks like it has about 13 stories in it
The font is all the same, the letters are mostly all black, everything starts with a bold title
The size of the stories vary from relevance

Self Portrait



Magazine Covers

Early Magazine Covers:
The Town and Country Magazine
April 1788
Early magazines tend to have a table of contents as a cover rather than a picture as we are used to seeing in todays magazines. The covers tended to design their covers like the covers of books. Many used a symbol or generic illustration and began with an article on the front page.

The Poster Cover
The Ladies Home Journal
1897
Influenced by the Art Norveau movement, they looked as though they were meant to be framed and hung on a wall. These covers tend to have a large image as the main focus, a bold title and no description of what is inside the magazine, the look more like posters than books or magazines.  

Pictures Married to Type
McClures Magazine 
1898
Tend to have bold, symbolic, traditional imagery. Type and art cover have a mutually supportive relationship. Large title with models face overlapping it. Cover lines. Covers began to give a description of what is inside the magazine, a variety of pictures were being used involving people of all different backgrounds.

In the Forest of Words
Vanity Fair
More modern magazine covers. Uses bold type, images of well known people, words all over cover giving a short description of what is inside the magazine in an attempt to get people curious and buy the magazine. Talk about things in the world we live in, deal with popular topics and more controversial ideas and individual questions and vanities.

Best song of 2013: Retrograde by James Blake 
 i picked this as the best song of 2013 because it was very different from everything else this year and had a very good meaning behind it. I think it should be considered the best of 2013 because of how original it is.
Best movie of 2013:
Twelve years a Slave
