Here's a compilation of magazine covers from the early 1900s in contrast with their recent versions. I'm surprised to know that most of these magazines are almost, if not, a century-old.
So which do you like better, the Old or the New? I think it all boils down to personal taste, i like most of the old cover designs and i admire the skills of the artists/editors/publishers back in the days where they didn't have the convenience brought about by computers. Wish they could bring back the artistry instead of all the "photoshoppery"!
