Many early magazines did not have covers. Those that did used black and white words and sketches. Most were balanced, formal, and not eye-caching or particularly unique or interesting compared to the ones we have today. Due to the lack of advanced technology, most covers were hand drawn and not especially elaborate.
The poster cover contains one large image that takes up most of the cover and very few words. The image is a summary of the point of the magazine, so words weren't necessary in many cases. This style is still used today to create bold and striking covers. Even though there were no cover lines on the magazine, the image used displays what the magazine is about so that readers know what thtye are buying.
The pictures married to type used large cover lines to draw the eyes and attract videos. Many consisted of a model's face overlapping the cover line, a model in an unusual or expressive posture or position, and cover lines across the sides of the cover. These covers left a lasting impression of modern graphic designers and are still used today. There is a primary and secondary set of cover lines, explaining the main points and details of the contents of the magazine.
The covers that are titled "In the forest of words" include the words as the main point of the cover. The molds are used as a background image and the words display the point and appeal of the magazine.This type of cover is often used today to capture readers and make them interested in buying the magazine. The name of the cover illustrator and many other details are seen prominently on the covers.
