Worth the investment of money and time the four ways to judge a cover
-Avoid a weak cover
The screen is the wrong size, no matter how big it is. You can’t see it intimately as if it were in your hands.
It lacks scale because it is isolated in its own magic electronic world, so you have nothing real to compare it to. You can only guess at type sizes and hope they’re OK.
It glows in vivid colors that will inevitably turn disappointingly dull when printed in ink. A hard-copy printout may be closer.
Worst of all, it is virtual. It is just an illusory likeness of the physical paper product that your potential buyer will ultimately be holding. If you are producing magazines on paper, think and remain conscious of “paperness” all the time.
Know the four ways too judge a cover

In my magazine cover, I want to try to get something attracting & looks somewhat interesting. 
I want something that won't be too hard to scan.
I would also like for it too be elegant, but unique-ish.
I want too have a background but not a background that's too distracting that it would that it would take off the focus of the main subject.
