Magazine Genre Research- Good Housekeeping

The magazine I chose is called Good Housekeeping. The cover layout has the title in big, bold letters at the top. There is a big picture in the background taking up the entire page. The main articles are all listed on the front on both sides of the page. The text of the title is very large and bold and the color is yellow-orange, which makes it bright and stand out. The article titles on the sides have different fonts in pink and white colors. The picture has gold, orange, and pink colors, so the text matches the picture. The background of the picture is gray-ish black color which is good for a solid color background to make the picture stand out.

The types of articles included are "Delicious Harvest Ideas," "Style Secrets for Every Room," "Halloween Decorating Guide," and "Pretty Pumpkins." The main, longer articles are in the middle and end, while the short articles are towards the beginning of the magazine. Some of the advertisements featured are Loreal, Purina, Special K, Tampax, Oscar Mayer, and Miracle Whip.

This magazine was a Halloween edition, so the cover has a picture of two painted pumpkins with DIY flower crowns around them that are described how to make in one of the articles. The table of contents has some pictures that relate to the types of articles in the magazine such as pumpkins, food, and home decorations. The distribution number is 6,243,000. Good Housekeeping received a nomination for the National Magazine Award.
