<\/p>\nI thought these articles were really cool! It was a really good read after just doing our own summing projects with images from movies and reading about Ferguson’s work. I found it very cool that that digital humanities can be about anything, you can work with any subject – even Vogue covers – and get cool results that can either have a purpose, or just on its own be something for people to look at and enjoy.<\/p>\n
I thought it was really interesting that throughout the years you could see the different trends that Vogue used. I also thought it was interesting that each year in the summed images article had its own static title and distinguishing factor.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I don’t know a ton, if anything at all, about marketing…but the different trends that these students found in the different years made me wonder if the people that work in marketing could use these same methods for other magazines, commercials, or ads and compare them to their highest amount of sales and see what trends people like the most. They could look into the different colors that made the most people buy the magazine or the hues or even just which static title is favored. An example of this would be the difference in how many magazines sold with the more saturated colors that were used in 1979 compared to the covers in 1961. I’m sure someone has probably already thought of this and done\u00a0it though. If not, maybe I have found a new calling in life. (I swear the strangest ideas come to my head when reading all of these articles)<\/p>\n

**PS just ignore my title, it’s different synonyms for cool that I thought were funny<\/p>\n
