Magazines Part II

1. Image Based
Image based covers are ones that feature a cover image taken by camera. These covers are usually of one or more persons, but can also feature other animals or places. The image on these covers are normally what sells and therefore typically feature a celebrity. These images can also be manipulated in order to create a certain unique vibe to the cover.

2. Illustration Based
Instead of including a taken photo graph, illustration based covers feature a drawn (sometimes animated) illustration. These covers were more typically used in the past but can still be used today normally to depict something funny or unusual. These covers can something be easier to share a message because you can create whatever image you want, and are typically used for political or sports based magazines.

3. Type Based
Type based photos are rare covers that are made mostly of typed or written fonts. These covers are used to be shocking or to share a straight forward message. These covers can sometimes make it easier to share an idea, if that idea cannot be easily shown in a taken photo or illustration.

4. Concept Based
A concept based cover is a mixture of the three cover ideas listed above. Concept based covers are rare and hard to achieve because they must prove to be both eye catching, curiosity sparking, and still be considered understandable.  These covers are also typically meant to be funny or shocking.
