Early Magazine - I think the main attributes of the early magazines are the fact that they are sacred and set an example for the magazine world. The first ones came in the 1700's and 1800's and look very different than ours today: they were not in color, they're pasted on a different material of paper and are not very catchy. However, no matter how they look, the early magazines were a way, back then to inform others of more important information, rather than celebrities and affairs like today.
The Poster Cover - A large photo and title on the front page. The photo often did not directly relate to the content of the magazine. Poster covers are not very common now.
Pictures Married to Type - By the late 1800's and early 1900's, most of the artwork covers were on their way out. The magazine company's had started using a good combination of both the picture and words. Most magazines would have the title of the company and text about what you would find in the pages of the magazine itself.
In the Forest of Words - These use a large number of cover lines and a powerful image as the cover. Text often covers a large portion of the image and the cover.
