1. Early Magazine Covers: The magazine covers usually just had a title and table of contents. For the cover picture it often looked like the cover of a book and didn't say what was inside. The covers of early magazines were fairly formal. The photo didn't show what was going to be inside but it sometimes did have a symbolic purpose. Later you would find cover lines on these magazines.
2. The Poster Cover: In this time you would find magazine covers that were drawn or painted. The illustrations where not only on the cover but also on the inside too. Also there would be a cover line telling what will appear inside of the magazine. The covers were usually very bold and caught attention and were more different than anything before.
3. Pictures Married to Type: Magazines had large titles with a portrait of someone. There were cover lines all over the magazine cover. The person that was showed on the cover was posed and placed in a certain way to show off the magazine. They would add different colors to cover lines to make it pop more. Eventually cover lines would take over.
4. In the Forest of Words: In the magazines the coverlines were as important than the coverpicture. Sometimes the coverlines would be bigger and more colorful than the actually title of the magazine. The photos placed on the cover of the magazine are more exciting and eye catching.
