Magazines part two

Early magazine covers typically had a small illustration or none at all. Because the bible was read primarily, sometimes the illustrations on the magazines would be an allegorical message requiring interpretation. They would usually have the table of contents for the magazine or something that says what would be in the magazine.
A poster cover magazine cover usually had no cover lines and a beautiful large picture/illustration that was not covered by the title of the magazine.
Pictures married to type is when the art and the text fit together on the cover in a cohesive way. There are cover lines and the is unique. The model could possibly be in a pose that you usual would not expect to see.
In the forest of words include intense photography instead of artistic illustrations on the covers. There is a big number of easily seen cover lines. Some of the cover lines could be bigger than the logo/title. Again the art and the text are cohesive and they go together well and it all fits on the page well.
