Research- Publishers

 Hi blog!

    Today I researched different magazine publishers and found the top-selling ones for food. Some of the top ones I noticed were Food Network, Bon Appétit, and Magnolia Journal. At a glance, these magazines may all appear the same; however, they all have a different vibe to them, and I am here to break it down.

 

    First off, Food Network's primary focus and content is easy and trending cooking. Their style tends to be bright and colorful, and they pull in celebrities. Below you can see the color scheme and the fun pop the issue has.

                                                        

    Furthermore, Bon Appétit's style is more sophisticated and structured. Their focus is quality food that blends culture and hobbies in one place. The articles tend to be more timeless and refined.     

                                                          

    Lastly, Magnolia Journal emphasizes seasonal cooking by publishing only quarterly. Calling the issue a "Journal" makes it feel more intimate. The style reflects the recipes inside with an earthy and rustic feel to the publication.

                                                        

    After reviewing the different styles, I think I'm leaning more towards following the conventions of Bon Appétit with it's sophisticated and cultural feel.
