1) Early Magazine Covers
almost always paintings, almost always ethical; religious; morals
2) The Poster Cover
Advantages: ONE big picture no border, subject is clear, text don't distract from the subject at all, things have be there or the picture has to be really great or has to be really recognizable
Disadvantages: zero entry points... maybe just one, if there isn't a good photo then $ goes down... Risky photo
3) Pictures Married to Type
Advantages: they go together, the word help the photo, the words don't interfere with the photo, don't distract you, the words go with the photo, you can see the photo better
Disadvantages: you don't know what else is inside the magazine, there aren't to many entry points
4) In the Forest of Words
Advantages: tons of text on the picture, different sizes, different colors, different fonts, words everywhere
Disadvantages: too much to look at (overwhelming) overboard, covers your photo
