Magazine Project Genre Research-Women's Health

Women's Health magazine is a magazine with a central focus on nutrition, health, fitness, and lifestyle. In the March 2017 issue, bright pinks and blues are utilized to draw in the reader's attention; there are also bold fonts stating the main articles, and a larger, calligraphy font to make the name of the cover model stand out. The cover also includes minor detailing in the white semi-circle surrounding the twenty-eight day plan to make it appear more prominent and important; there is also miniscule underlining underneath some of the smaller, fine print, to make it pop and still appear as important as the larger, bolded, topics. Since these are the main articles, they are spaced out between beauty and wellness ads as to not immediately run out of content and to keep the reader flipping through the pages to read the desired material.

In recent years, Women's Health as a circulation number of 1,511,791. This number permits us to know that if our magazine were produced and propped on a newstand or in a store, we would be able to sell nearly 100,000 copies. It is clear that Women's Health is well-liked and read amongst an expansive audience. In addition, it holds nominations for Best Personal Service (2018), Best Magazine (2017), General Excellence in Active Interest (2014 and 2015), and General Excellence in Fashion, Service, and Lifestyle Magazines (2011 and 2013); in all categories, this magazine has been a finalist. Overall, Women's Health is a well-known magazine that encompasses the use of bright colors and design techniques to pull the reader's attention in and maintain a central focus.
