#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.

Critique: The photo of the girl is beautiful. I love that it is a raw untouched image as it said in the discription above. The was she is angled and the was her eyes pop out at you with such hauntingness and mystery but also so much sadness and morning for her family. She is shown in her natural state of person.

Cover History

Cover types:
1. Early Magazine Covers-I think that the Early Magazine Covers show that they just wanted to get to the point and show you what is going on and as time progressed they started to kind of wanting you to guess what is going on and pull you a little more modern. They started what is now today and tomorrow.

2. The Poster Cover-The Poster Cover magazines varied from magazine to magazine for instance older magazines just had a picture that just had to do with a mood or maybe the seasons and not what was on the inside. Sometimes there were no captions at all and it was just the magazine logo.

3. Pictures Married to Type-Pictures Married to Type magazines have amazing different photos with text just dancing around the photo like a party. It just catches your eye and does not let it go without a fight. The different sizes of font on random places of the magazines makes you want to read them, the text influences the photo.

4. In the Forest of Words-In the Forest of Words magazines the cover is not just about text or the image on it both are out there and eye catching and capture your everything. Photos and words compliment each other so magazines not only look better they sell better.
