Cover Types
1. Early Magazine Covers
Early magazine covers tended to have more words than pictures. Magazine covers were very similar to book covers at the time and had little to no pictures at all on them. Some only had a tittle, publisher, and a small illustration without relation to the magazine while others had a title, publisher, and table of contents or description of the magazine.
2. The Poster Cover
The poster cover style of magazines mainly consisted of a huge picture and the tittle and publisher in small font. Magazine companies would choose a picture that may have slightly related to the magazine. The magazines felt that their one chosen cover picture expressed the magazine thoroughly when it really was not related to the articles in the magazine at all.
3. Pictures Married to Type
This style of magazine covers insures that the words and picture of a magazine are paired together for maximum desire to the eye. Magazines find a way to design the cover lines of articles to cohesively go with the cover art or picture on the magazine. With this style of magazine, a reader or passerby can quickly get a glimpse of what the magazine features to see if their interest in purchasing a magazine is sparked.
4. In the Forest of Words
The in the forest of words magazine style boasts lots of big words and as well as a cover picture and the name of the magazine. Unlike pictures married to type, the attention of the reader is more so directed to the cover lines than the cover picture itself. To the reader, the magazine cover's cover lines are almost shouting, commanding attention to themselves to turn heads and spark interest in the possible buyer of the magazine.

Description: "For our August 2014 issue, FamilyFun commissioned photographer Sabrina Helas to shoot our cover story on family road trips. The minute we saw this image in the film, we knew we had our cover. Shot at The Corner Store in San Pedro, CA, the photo is filled with the kind of joyful, authentic details we love — the vintage blue bottle, the candy bracelet, the world's best burger, and a side-glancing smile of delight from 6-year-old Isaac. Intriguing and spontaneous-feeling, it sums up what our brand is all about: making happy memories with your kids." - See more at: http://www.magazine.org/asme/magazine-cover-contest/past-winners-finalists/2015-winners-finalists#sthash.uP58Y4Hm.dpuf
Critique: I really liked this photo because it gave me a sense of well being. There is natural lighting which will make any photo pop. The lighting and the colors of the picture go very well together. The scene is very colorful yet not too distracting that they take away from the subject which is the little boy. Also, the font and the colors of the words on the magazine suit the picture and the colors inside the picture very well. 80 The little boy in the photo is smiling and seems to be enjoying a burger, creating a warm and playful mood and since the magazine is directed towards families, suits the magazine perfectly.
