Summary

I. Early Magazine Covers started off as the table of contents, and then evolved into basicly a book cover presenting a title and publication data. After the book cover style appeared this one used a generic illustration in a symbolic manner to evoke the spirit of the publication, without revealing any of this issue's specific contents.

II. The Poster Cover was the dominator in the magizine field at the time, it is said to have be darived from the artistic posters of the Art Norveau movement. The covers of many of these oversized magazines looked as if they were printed to be framed and hung on the wall.

III. (Pictures Married to Type) While many magazines boasted artful poster covers, others relied heavily on cover lines to draw readers inside in a more definite way than the cover art could accomplish. It is not clear when cover lines first appeared, but it was early in the history of the magazine cover. Most cover lines identifed the names of the contributors, not the topics of their articles.

IV. (In the Forest of Words) Its very artistic and has a large number of cover lines. Very attractive and eye catching. More coverlines that expose the picture more and more. Good photography and big texts or words to make it easy to read and look at and the words cover the people or things.
