Look Magazine
Was published in Des Moines Iowa from 1937 to 1971, and focused, unlike other magazines at the time, on the actual photographic aspect of the magazine instead of the articles. I think that this magazine changed how people look at periodicals because and that’s is how it is now; photos are more important than articles. Originally, Look magazine was a big magazine, 11 by 14 inches, which made it all the better at displaying photos. At one point Look was even more popular than Saturday Evening Post which isn’t exactly surprising because both of those magazines seem to be knock offs of the other, they both have that Norman Rockwell moment kind of feel to them. Stanley Kubrick worked as a staff photographer for a while, and supposedly this helped his career as a director this^ is one of the photos he took... Its easy to see how he went from this to Full Metal Jacket
Here is an article about the many different types of photos Look took, many current events:
