"Favorite"
#10 National Geographic (June 1985)Photographer Steve McCurry immortalized the haunted eyes of a 12-year-old refugee in a camp on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. Soviet helicopters destroyed her village and family, forcing her to make a two-week trek out of the perilous mountains of Afghanistan. The photo became a National Geographic icon after it was published on the cover in June 1985. Since then, this raw, untouched image has been used on rugs and tattoos, making it one of the most widely reproduced photos in the world.

This picture shows a lot of emotion and it gets it's point across. The photagrapher filled the frame so that the only thing you can see is the girls face, and her eyes tell a lot about whats going on around her. Her facial experession shows the person looking at the picture that something bad has happened to her.

Cover History

1. Early Magazine Covers
In the mid-1700's covers of magazines didn't really look like covers. It didn't have pictures or words that would tell you what that issue had in it. In the 1800's, cover lines began to appear.

2. The Poster Cover
From the 1890's to the 1960's, the poster cover was used in most of the magazines. Many of the artists who made these posters, learned it from the Art Norveau movement. The posters seemed like they were supposed to be framed, instead of read. The image on the poster usually didn't have anything to do with the story in the magazine, but it had to do with something that was going on in the world at the time.

3. Pictures Married to Type
The early magazines had either a great picture, or cover line. But int the 20th century, the cover consisted of a model in a full body pose, with cover lines around her, positioned in consideration with the background and her pose.

4. In the Forest of Words
In the beginning, covers had artistic posters, but it has changed to great photagraphy, with vivid cover lines.
