Arthur Turnure founded Vogue in 1892 as a weekly publication in the United States. When he died in 1909 the magazine was turned into a monthly publication, and has been ever since. I depicted this major changes in Vogue’s history by first only including each years “best cover” during Arthurs Turnure weekly publication range (18921908). And then included two covers, (a summer and winter month) from the monthly publication period 1909-2013. The 5 most common colors of each magazine cover have been pulled out to make a modern abstract cover, focusing on the “colors of fashion” from each year Vogue has been in publication. The color names come from the Wikipedia color index, that includes over 15,000 different colors.
