I've had one of those weeks. The kind where you stay up too late every night through your weekend doing homework, and then the week hits and there's even more for you to do. However, I'm in the final stretch with the True/False app and things are looking up!
I didn't present my History of Vogue powerpoint today because I hadn't yet finished it before class.
You'll all get to see it next week, but here's a few of my favorite covers from the 1930's.
November 1932
February 1935
June 1939
November 1939
I love the illustrative covers, especially from the art deco period. The geometry and the uniqueness of each one is something I wish still existed in magazines. With a title as popular as Vogue, I don't think there could be any mistaking it on the newsstand. REVOLUTION?
What's really cool about my period is the transition from illustrations to photography and seeing the mix of the two play out. The "Vogue" is still different on each cover, not yet having come up with the current Bodoni-font brand.
While a lot of people touched on the differences of magazines then and now, I think Vogue was able to transform over the years, but without ever losing it's elegance and sophistication.
I really enjoyed working on this assignment and seeing the complete transformation of magazines such as Life and Vogue throughout the decades.
After seeing some of the Vogue collections, I also think I've added a few coffee table books to next year's Christmas list as well.
