Types of Magazine Cover

1.) Early Magazine Cover- In this type of magazine cover there are no descriptive words that tell you what it is going to be about. The table of contents that we have now was not always there. In the 1700s and 1800s the table of contents and book title had only co-existed. If there was a magazine that had no descriptive word and there was a table of contents and had no cover and started on the first page like a newspaper then i would know that it would be a Early Magazine Cover. The cover had nothing to do with what was in the book and it would just tempt the people to buy it.

2.) The Poster Cover- In this type of magazine cover the cover of the book looks almost like as if it was framed in a museum. Also this magazine cover has cover lines that tend to blend into place with the photo. If you were given a photo that had all of the above attributes then you would be able to identify it as a Poster Cover.

3.) Pictures Married to Types- This type of magazine cover more cover lines that hooks the reader by the picture. In this type of cover there will be a huge title and the person will be overlapping part of the title. Also the person will be in a unusual position that looks normal but feels weird. Another thing is that It will always be most of the body that is shown. As well as posture there will always be the element of placement and where the person in the cover is. There will also be two columns of text that somewhat boxes the person.

4.)  In the Forest of Words- In this type of  cover image and cover lines will overlap. Cover lines will appear in front of the cover model. In this they use there surroundings to tempt the buyer to buy it. If you see a cover that has cover lines overlapping and cover lines in front of the model then you will know that the cover will be Forest of the words cover magazine.
