Magazines Part Two

1-Image Based
Image based magazine covers are the most common, they normally have at least one person looking at the camera either smiling or smirking usually. This is used in fashion magazines, with celebrities to sell  that issue.The cover photography has to match with the style of publication and rarely will it change from the style. For a food or travel magazine, a beautiful landscape or delicious looking meal is whats usually the cover. 
2-Illustration Based
llustration are usually used to show something funny or different and not very magazines use illustrated covers. Most Illustrated magazines are independently published and don't count on newsstands. Most of them are computer generated if a magazine uses it. 
3-Type Based
The typing in type based covers are supposed to be shocking and striking because the words look powerful and this approach is rare. Sometimes, type based covers give a message better than regular photography do. Type based covers are making a come back with the popularity of handwritten letters and calligraphy.
4-Concept Based
