Early Magazine covers typically had very few words. They were known to have the title of the magazine, the publication information, and possibly a generic picture. They were very similar to book covers. Very few had cover lines.
Poster Cover magazines had little to no words aside from the title of the magazine. The cover had one large image to summarize the content of the magazine. The covers usually consist of one picture/painting/drawing of one specific person or think. The image was up close enough to show details of the person. The one picture is colorful or interesting.
Pictures Married to Type magazine covers have a good ratio of picture to text. The model's face overlaps (or is overlapped by) the title in some way. The model is still the subject of the cover, but the text is easy to read and in the sides and bottom of the cover. The story tags will likely overlap the model, but not in away that completely distracts eyes from the subject.
In the Forest of Words magazines have a lot going on in their cover. They start with an intriguing or unusual picture that grabs the readers attention. The covers are also extremely content heavy. The text overlaps some or much of the subject. The content usually doesn't cover the subject's face, but will likely cover part of their body.
