Magazine Research #1

The magazine genre I want to do is on animal wellness.  The magazine I looked at was the October/November issue from Animal Wellness Magazine.  Centered on the front page is a dog in the woods.  There are seven different titles printed on the page that show the reader what information is covered in the magazine. It also clarifies on the top of the page that this is the "nutrition issue."  This magazine include articles about pet care, recipes for home-made food and treats, foods to avoid feeding your animal, safety tips, and basic animal behaviors.  These articles are scattered throughout the magazine, but I have noticed that recipes, lifestyle, and exercise activities for dogs are most commonly in the beginning.  This could be because the author thinks these topics are most important.  There are many advertisements about pet food brands and which ones are the best for your animal in the magazine, and they tend to appear in the middle. The table of contents includes many different pictures, including ones of dogs, treats, medicine, and more.  The articles include pictures specific to that particular article; for example, a picture of chocolate displayed in an article about harmful foods for dogs.  I did not see any stamps or sign of award on the magazine.
