Image Based
They consist of an image with usually 1 or 2 people in a portrait shot. They can be smiling or not depending on the mood of the magazine.
Illustration Based
They used to be used in olde magazines because hand drawing was the only way to have an image on the cover. Now they are mainly computer generated images that display sometimes funny things or animations.
Type Based
They consist of mainly words with 1 or 2 smaller pictures. They fonts are usually very large and creative with different fonts used on the cover. Not very popular.
Concept Based
A mix of the other three. They are used to present very shocking or very funny/happy things. Tend to share a strong message. They have to be easily understandable.
The relationship between words and pictures is very important. The words usually tell more about the picture or what will be in the magazine. Other things that are done is that the words are somehow incorporated into the picture.
