Time Magazine
Time Magazine is a tradition, and that’s pretty much how I look at it. I don’t take any news publication as gospel because in my opinion, just about everything is slanted, one way or another. However, I do like Time Magazine as a leader in information and …
Life Takes Visa (magazine ad)
I have seen the television commercials where the Life Takes Visa slogan is punctuated by all sorts of gregarious activities. It makes people want the freedom that a credit card sometimes feel like it’s providing. In this magazine advertisement, a guitar with five necks and five sets …
Shades 5th Avenue by Redken (magazine ad)
Again, there is a blonde with wonderful luscious hair and a pert little pouty mouth, and blue eyes. I wish that advertisers would get a bit more creative than just sticking a blonde on a magazine page and thinking that the world will buy their products because she’s “beautiful.” …

Target Fresh Grocery mail publication

Candy April 2009 Issue

Muscle & Fitness Hers
I have been going to the gym since I signed-up for a lifetime membership with Slimmers World in 1994. Back then (at least in my country) gyms were domains of the men and 2-lb weights were for aerobics only. My fitness instructor was male and so was my trsining …
I.N.C. Clothing (magazine ad)

Cosmopolitan Magazine
My favorite magazine is Cosmopolitan. I’m not sure why, but it beats out all the others by a mile and a half. Cosmo (as it’s known by most people who’ve heard of it), has everything that a woman in her early 20’s could want to read about. …
Two Forever Lenox Rings (magazine ad)
I have never seen a ring advertised in a magazine that is as tacky as this one. The gemstones representing the various months is not even enough to make these rings seem precious enough that I would want to buy one to commemorate a relationship. In any …
Flavors (A Food Magazine)
Whenever we do our grocery at any SM supermarket, I see the magazine Flavors featured prominently on their shelves. Their marketing strategy worked on me, and I finally relented and bought one to help me navigate our kitchen. I like this food magazine than Foodie because the font and …

The Chronicle Herald .ca
Halifax’s local newspaper is offered online as well at www.thechronicleherald.ca. I personally opt to visit this site daily, as I prefer the neat and tidy web surfing to flipping through the large, bulky paper that makes a mess on my hands and desk.

Yaz Birth Control pills (magazine ad)
