I guess it bears mentioning that every time i stand patiently behind someone in the check-out lane or peruse the selection of magazines at my local bookstore, i’m charmed to death by Bon Appetit magazine which underwent a full revamp not too long ago.
The new doo takes the magazine from a look that screams of southern cuisine and swaps it out for fresh editorial design, illustration and typography in addition to a new cover design/masthead. Not only is the readership going to increase (me thinks, heh) BUT i’d say this puts them on par with pretty much anything Martha Stewart is up to right now. Let’s face it, in a world that’s practically run by the queen bee herself the last thing anyone needs is another magazine that relishes the joy of preparing honey glazed hams. Give me contemporary eats any day, thanks.
Fortunately, that’s what Bon Appetit has managed to do. And did anyone notice that qusai-Mrs. Eaves header on the cover? Its like she married Claredon, and their offspring was the sweetest melding of serifs and style i have ever seen. Yummmm.
