Magazine Project Genre Research (The New York Times Style Magazine)
Magazine Project Genre Research #1:
To begin my magazine genre research, I have decided to analyze an issue of The New York Time Style Magazine. The issue I'm analyzing is from August 19th, 2018.
The cover features model Adesuwa Aighewi in front of a white backdrop. To contrast the white background, bold bright blue letters as well as gray accents are used to attract the attention of the reader.
The title is in two parts, "The Face" being near the face of the model and "Of Beauty" a little off center at the bottom of the cover. The name of the magazine "The New York Times Style Magazine" is stylistically and tastefully set off to the side, allowing the reader to automatically recognize the brand without it obstructing the model.

The magazine's table of contents spans three pages and includes pictures of a hummingbird, a model discussed in one of the articles and pictures of architecture (bathrooms, bedrooms, etc.). The types of photos included in the articles are from various photographers but all follow a theme of minimalism. The cover also follows a minimalist theme.
Included in the magazine are many articles: "The Women" (included on page 190), which discusses how veteran actresses came to dominate modern day screens, "The Absurdist" (included on page 192), which discusses how conceptual artist Darren Bader interprets art's meaning. Many of the articles included in the magazine discuss art, women and challenging modern day conventions and innovation in the fashion and visual arts' industries.
It is also to be noted that the articles begin later in the magazine, as the magazine is predominately composed of two page advertisements, some of which include Gucci, Luis Vuitton and Cartier. The majority of the magazine is comprised of advertisements. There are 22 articles that start at page 91 and end on page 224.
Let it be noted that I was not able to find the distribution number for The New York Times Style Magazine. I even called the magazine itself and could not find an accurate number.
Overall, The New York Times Style Magazine is a very sleek magazine with a modern design. The magazine has a consistent color palette and a variety of organizational techniques that grabs and consistently maintains the attention of their audience.
