1. Early Magazine Covers:It sucked. well compared to our modern ones, that piece of paper was just like toilet paper to us. I mean the stories and gossip about Goerge Washington was great, but the cover looked like a freakying book, who wants to read a book for a short period of entertainment while your waiting for your carage so pull over and hoping the horse won't poop on your shoes. Todays people will probably not buy that magazine only because it looks like a boring book, the picture will probably wont go with the story, they might not be a picture. After color printing and stuff like that, "The popular Peterson's women's magazine of 1872 uses a completely generic cover richly decorated with the leafy symmetry of Victorian embellishments, with a lovely assemblage of drawings at the bottom symbolizing the various roles of woman in the family."




2. The Poster Cover: Poster Covers were sometimes used for memorial information, there are no cover lines, or themes announced, and the image generally is not covered by the logo. Confident in its audience, each of these magazines can present a cover with a single focus, amplified by minimal cover lines, because a dozen similar covers are not competing for reader attention nearby.





3. Pictures Married to Type: The pictures in these magaziens goes exactly with the text in front of the cover. Blah blah blah can go with a big pictue of a person that you can see he wont stop talking and that could say that people in the world should stop talking so much. The random text placed in the cover attracts your eyes to read them and get your attention so you can buy them and read whats inside, but also the pictures that they put can call your attention too, with funny, sad, dramatic, gloriuos, or a memorial pictures.





4. In the Forest of Words: The Forest of words magazine really wants you to take your time and stop to read the highlighted text, or the big bold text next to the beautiful girl or handsome guy besides it. They will put a lot of text that some of them might say stuff like, Britney Spears influences her sister? turn to page 27, just so you can open the magazine and check it out.
