Early magazine cover:

In the early magazine covers they didn't put letters or words that would describe what would be found inside the magazine.The images or just the cover itself were modeled after a book cover,it wasn't models or people but covers of books.Many were dedicated from a book's table of contents.They only provided a tittle and some publication data.

The poster cover:

They were oversized magazines.The authors got the idea of making this oversized magazine covers from art work.Most cover images didn't even relate to a story inside the magazines.The cover's image was just art but in order to go a long with it,they had to put the theme that related to it.The cover just had beautiful artwork or just simply good pictures.The pictures that the covers had were the main attraction to the people.

Pictures married to type:

They were common lines.The authors wanted to attract the reader with a deeper meaning in the covers.They put a poster that actually went with the theme of the magazine.They wanted it to be bold and not show any lines.They wanted it to symbolize something that had to do with the magazine.They wanted a large model with her face overlapping the tittle to attract more people.The placement of everything in the magazine gave it some depth as in colors,objects.This is when they started using models as their cover.

In the forest of words:

This is when they started using more intense colors in the background and in the tittle.They started using more cover lines.The cover lines had to go alone with the cover art.Some magazines even contained cover lines bigger than the tittle.They started putting more nudity in them,not exactly all naked but started showing more skin.Later they started using bold graphic cover with no more than one cover line or they put them in a small size.Cover lines started appearing in front of the models and them in the background.The cover lines surrounding them.They put more cover lines that had to do with what was going to be inside the magazine.
