The magazine that I decided to use was a 2017 GQ Magazine. The genre of the magazine is predominantly fashion and style. The colors featured on the magazine are blue and red. They used these colors, because those are the colors of the GQ logo, so they kept the same trend for this edition. The kinds of articles included in the magazine are various types of designer couture. A celebrity will have the specific clothes or shoes and the article will feature them. Like for example, on page 43 of the magazine, Lady Gaga is shown wearing a "Tudor" watch. Most of the advertisements featured are clothing. Things like Dior, Gucci, Saint Laurent, Ralph Lauren, Michael Kors, Dolce & Gabbana and etc. These are all at the beginning of the magazine, so you can probably infer that the magazine does this to lure the readers in. On the cover, it is a huge picture of NBA player, Kevin Durant. In subtext, it says "Champion of the Year", so the readers can infer that he did something big for his Golden State Warriors team to be featured on the cover. They also include the featured "cover stars", like for example Colin Kaepernick. He will inside the magazine. There are no pictures included in the Table of Contents. The magazine reported that the U.S. paid circulation of GQ magazine is 824,334 issues per month. In 2017, GQ was nominated for the James Beard Award for Food Coverage in a General-Interest Publication.
