Kodakery Covers

      Kodakery had six variations of its cover design between the first and last issue, shown below.  You can click on any of the covers to see a larger view of it.

      The magazine masthead, which also varied over the years, is also shown.
      September, 1915 The original cover design had a border around the cover margin.

      June, 1930 Art-deco styling appeared in the mid-1930 total redesign of the Kodakery cover. "Amateur Photographers" became "Amateur Picture Makers".

      1930 Masthead
      September, 1931 The final cover design appeared in 1931. Art-deco styling was used, but a totally new layout was used. The "Magazine for Amateur Picture Makers" label disappeared, and a list of feature articles appeared -- much like today's magazines.

      Interestingly, the cover once again became monochromatic, which it remained until publication ceased in 1932.
