Describe the following styles of cover lines:  a) Outside the box - One box contains the title, another box contains the picture, a third box contains cover lines or other publication data. Keeping text and pictures separate simplifies the printing process and eliminates the difficulties that can happen from printing type over a picture. b) Inside the box - Knockouts were used to create boxes inside an illustration, into which type could be placed.  c) Columns - Another solution, which has appeared in many forms over the decades, is to create a colored vertical column for cover lines alone.  d) Zones - Logo, pictures, and cover lines. They are each in a separate horizontal "zone" on the cover.  e) Unplanned spaces - T ext might be described as being fitted into spaces that seem almost accidentally left blank by the illustrator. f) Planned spaces - Many, many illustrations created spaces especially for the display of cover lines, on elements inside the illustrations--such as walls, sails, columns, doorways, open windows, and other uniformly colored spaces against which type could be placed.
