Early magazines modeled their covers to look like book covers with a title and a publication date, but there was nothing shown as to what would be found in the magazine. The table of cover and the book like cover were used between the 1700-1800's. The symbolic cover was a typical symbolic manner to get people to read without knowing what's in the magazine. Some magazines used symbols on the cover that were closely related to those in the bible. Some newspapers had no covers and automatically started the first story. Magazines started to add a title of one of the stories that could be found inside, on the cover to appeal to the reader.
The poster cover magazines had artwork that had looked like it should've been framed and hung. Some poster covered magazines had no cover lines and the cover didn't relate to any of the stories inside. The poster mostly represented a general mood or the season. Covers celebrated industry and progress, and some covers slipped the cover lines to the unsed space at the bottom of the magazine. Covers began to be black and white and bold. Most covers had in common the fact that most had a single focus with small cover lines.
Pictures maried to type depended on it cover lines to get the readers attention and cover lines now became common.
