| − | + | The cover of ''Blast'' changes drastically after the outbreak of WWI. The first edition of ''Blast'' featured a bright magenta cover with word "BLAST" in large bold letters positioned horizontally across the cover. This first cover not only caught people's attention easily, but also displayed the novelty of the magazine. However, after WWI began, the cover of ''Blast'' changed to become much more serious and relevant. The cover of the second edition of ''Blast'' was colored dark beige, and the title's importance had been significantly reduced. Instead of using the title to fill the cover, the second cover featured artwork depicting soldiers in trenches. Although the tone of the cover had changed drastically, the artwork maintained the vorticist style. | |
