LIFE Magazine


For my last project, I decided to focus on the covers of LIFE Magazine. Life magazine was the first all photography North American news magazine and it has nominated the market for the last 70 years. It was created in 1936 with a strong emphasis on photojournalism and since then, it has been able to capture iconic images of the famous and depict some of the most powerful images in history. Therefore, I decided to take these images and categorize them into different sections. The categories are: CoverGirls, Leading Men, Musicians, Sports, War and History, I also divided the covers by year.

I got most of my information from:

I also was inspired by the Time's Person of the Year Infographic.
