Good House(and Photo!)keeping









Generally, when I think about GoodHousekeeping, I don't think fantastic photo graphs. But browsing through their latest issue, I was actually quite impressed by their design and photograph capabilities. Clearly, judging by all three photos, this is a magazine geared towards women, and it seems like they are really relying on their stereotypical demographic with a modern twist.

Not all women are stay-at-home moms and Martha Stewart-like homemakers which is why I think they added something that appeals to the more modern day woman with a keen interest in fashion and accessorizing (surprise!).

The picture which features the woman in the pink dress is bright, colorful and creative with its picture frames of luxurious shoes. The flowers in the tea cup, is a lovely picture on its own, but with the font, cup and flower color all within the same monochromatic family, it makes for an even more serene and elegant picture.

Of course, what woman's magazine wouldn't be complete without the "do-it-all" woman who overcame some tragedy or dilemma. The picture of Stacey, though standard is well in focus, centered, but also a little boring. Even though this is a profile piece, another background may have suited this story a bit more to add a little more interest.
