Japanesse Earthquake

This is one of the most depressing pictures i have ever seen. This photo shows the disaster of the earth quake in japan and its surprising to see all the damage it caused.

In this picture you see everyone from the japan come out and see the damage the hurricane has done to the their streets and all the streets are blocked by vehicles.

This picture shows how horrible it was in japan and to see this picture it makes you feel grateful for all the things in your life and to not take anything for granted because this could happen to you and you could lose everything.

Cover types

The Early Magazine Covers front page was more like a book cover it had the Name and a Front picture, some didn't have table of contents, it also used symbolic pictures that represented something, pictures that explained the bible and allegorical messages.The Poster Cover in other words pictures that needed no words, the poster cover produced so many memorable covers on so many magazine covers, Most cover posters didn't even relate to the stories it just set the mood for the Magazine.Magazines Like Out Door Life, Asia, LIFE, and Carmel used poster covers, these poster covers perhaps have been made possible not by an audience interest in visual art, or the design principle of focus, or by the persuasive power of elegant, or artistic accomplishments. Pictures Married to Type Cover lines started ongoing dialogue that they have been carrying on ever since with cover art. These types of covers had a large title with the model's fave overlapping it , a model in a nearly full body pose, a model in an unusual and expressive posture cover lines on all sides of the model carefully positioned in relation to the model and the background. Most of the cover lines identify the names of the contributors, no the topic of their article.In the Forest Of Words
