Vanity Fair Magazine
One of the hobbies I refuse to give up, despite the present economy, is reading. There are few things as personally enjoyable to me as being able to relax with a cup of hot tea and a good magazine. So, since going out to movies and restaurants isn’t as …
Courier-Journal newspaper
The Courier-Journal is our city’s ultra left-leaning newspaper. When I was little, there was another newspaper that delivered in the afternoon. Now we just have the morning delivery of the Courier-Journal, and considering its poor quality, I am surprised we even have it now.
The Courier-Journal’s editorial page …
OK! Magazine
I always used to be an avid reader of OK! Magazine and i would rush to the shops to get it the day it came out. This however, has changed a few months back when i realised that it was a rip off-simple as that.

People magazine
I buy People magazine every single week. I love it because this magazine doesn’t only talk of celebrities , it also has lots of articles about big news that is happening around the world.I would say it is 50/50 mix of celebrities and human interest.
People magazine debuted in 1974, …
HealthToday Philippines
My collection of magazines ranges from fashion magazines, to weight training magazines, running, triathlon, biking and very few health magazines.

Taste of Home Magazine

As a chef wannabe, I’ve …
Idaho Statesman newspaper
If you like straight news reporting and not a lot of fluff articles, this is not the newspaper for you. Recently there was a fire in Boise that destroyed 10 homes and had a fatality involved. It was a tragic event for sure but the Statesman keeps …
Horse Illustrated Magazine
Horse Illustrated Magazine is a publication for all riders. Horse Illustrated covers all disciplines and arrives in my mailbox every month. Unlike other riding magazines, Horse Illustrated focuses more on the pleasure rider. I think Horse Illustrated is focused upon pleasure riders and trail enthusiasts more than performance horses …
One Touch diabetic monitor (magazine ad)
There is a huge close up of a real life mother. Her name is Kelly. She has diabetes, and she’s a mother. It’s very interesting that they chose this particular style of ad for such an important little device. I like that they used …
Rohto Eye Drops (magazine ad)
“Feel the Eyedrenaline” is the title of this striking ad. I really like that the artists responsible for this used the visual (pun intended) option and ran with it. In the middle of the page is an eye. Part of the eye looks dry …
Silver Patron Tequila (magazine ad)
I am having a little trouble trying to analyze this particular magazine ad for Silver Patron Tequila. In the ad, is a large bottle of the product, featured with a green ribbon. The product itself looks top-notch. And it looks like it might be an …

Design For Humanity by Billa Bong (magazine ad)
I don’t think I have ever heard of Billa Bong. It sounds like a really funky clothing line. And I see that there is a model on the page wearing an array of bathing suits. The suits are very vintage looking and are nowhere near that …

“Business Licenses and Permits” by an unknown author at entrepreneur.com is an article for business owners about various types of operating permits and licenses they will need to legally run their business.
I think it is important for new business owners to know what type of licenses and permits they …
Atomic Ranch Magazine
This is only a quarterly magazine. But, I’m glad it exists all the same. It’s a fun magazine for mid century design enthusiasts like me.
A lot of it seems to be about showing me peoples’ midcentury interiors. I guess the idea is to inspire others to try to …

Andy Capp
I haven’t spent a great deal of time reading the comic strip Andy Capp in the past. But, recently, I’ve found myself looking at it on a daily basis.
I’m not sure why this is. To be honest, I’ve never found it overly funny. But, there’s something about it I …
Breitling watches (magazine ad)
This is a prime example of companies milking the popularity of Hollywood celebrities. For this ad, John Travolta was chosen. The people behind the ad were probably sitting around the table discussing how to approach the commercial. And they said: “Hmmm what did John Travolta …
RIA Radio Station

Eau de Toilette by Gucci (magazine ad)
This model has doe eyes and is resting comfortably on a block of perfume that looks terribly expensive. I think that this is the perfect way to show off a fragrance by Gucci. This brand is one of the top brands in the world. And …
Comcast Triple Play ad campaign
In my lifetime, I’ve seen more commercials than I care to think about. Some of them are classics, poignant ads that somehow warm your heart, and others are on the total opposite end of the spectrum — annoying things that just make you want to turn off the …
Aperture Magazine
This magazine, which started since 1950s, is a hit between both my parents, and still are till now. I guess the idea has creeped into me, and as an aspiring photographer for hobby, I certainly learn quite a lot of things just by looking at this magazine.
Now, be …
Glamour magazine
I was shocked to see that no one had written a review on Glamour magazine yet! Personally, I find this magazine to be one of the better magazines out there for women (it is my second favorite, after Cosmopolitan). Included in the magazine is just about everything …

Heidi Klum once said that in fashion, ” one day you’re in, the next day you are out”. What she meant was this fashion industry is very competitive that it is progressing everyday. We need a fashion bible to keep us posted with the latest style. There are Vogue, …

FEMINA women’s magazine
I read Femina fairly regularly. I must say that this women’s magazine packs in a lot for we women. Right from designer wear, pefumes, women’s issues, beauty tips, household handy hints, recipes and the works - you name a major women’s issue and in all probability you’ll find it …
Falcon Features

Luxury Reborn Belvedere Vodka (magazine ad)
I know that magazines are supposed to be progressive in order to sell copies. But I am really surprised that the sexual overtones would be this explicit. In this ad for Vodka, a bright green-eyed woman is seen applying lipstick. Her wide eyes imply …

In Style magazine
When In Style magazine began several years ago, it was a much thinner publication than it is today. The articles were awesome. With a focus on the celebrity and their homes, it brought a unique perspective to the public. The first two issues pictured Barbra Streisand …
