Cover History

Cover types
1. Early Magazine Covers
Early magazine covers were usually modeled after the look of book covers there was usually only a title and publication data. sometimes a simple illustration was inlcudeed on the cover.
2. The Poster Cover
A poster cover features or shows a big photo or drawn picture on the front along with the name of the magazine and publishing information.
3. Pictures Married to Type
A pictures married to type cover includes everything that a poster cover includes but also has cover lines. Which i believe are the sentences or paragraphs scattered around the cover.
4. In the Forest of Words
A in the forest of words cover is almost just like a pictures married to type cover. But some of the main differences are that there are many more cover lines and that even some cover lines are bigger than the title.
