Image based magazine covers are the most commonly seen magazine cover type. It has one to a couple people on the cover smiling at the camera. This approach is seen with most celebrity magazines, along with all fashion and men's magazines. Illustration based covers are from the start of magazine covers. These were seen when all anyone could do was draw the cover. Type based magazine covers are rare, but seen more than illustration covers. These types of covers are normally surprising, shocking, and striking. Concept based magazine covers are a combination of all three approaches. They are best for when a strong message is being presented.
The relationship between the text on the cover and the photos on the cover is the ability to catch the eye of readers and draw them in by bright colors, interesting photos, and shocking headlines. Making sure that the headlines and pictures on the cover are intriguing is vital to the magazine company, and will determine how many issues they will sell.
