NEW YORK, Aug. 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Family
Circle, the number-one-selling food and family magazine
in the U.S. with an audience of 16 million monthly readers, today
unveiled a new design with the September
2016 issue, available on newsstands nationwide today. The
research-based and consumer-driven redesign reflects Family
Circle's ongoing commitment to readers by offering them a more
modern and personalized experience.
Beginning with the September 2016
issue, Family Circle introduces a new logo with refreshed
layouts and fonts and bolder photography. The popular title
will continue to offer its signature modern, relevant content
written for today's moms raising tweens and teens.
"The new Family Circle focuses on the needs of leading
millennial moms who are raising Generation Z – women who are
influencers inside the home and out," says Family Circle
VP/Editor in Chief Linda Fears.
"We're always striving to cultivate their passions for everything
from cooking, healthy living and home decorating to style and
community involvement – all while guiding them through the ups and
downs of family life. In future issues, we'll focus on curating
content that will drive compelling conversations on social media
for our diverse community of 16 million readers."
Family Circle's energetic refresh creates easier
navigation, including more entry points, quick takeaways and
engaging story formats. "The vibrant images and thought-provoking
text will resonate with our readers who are looking for original
ideas and a leisurely experience as well as those searching for an
in-depth perspective on the issues and causes they care most
about," says Fears.
Anton Ioukhnovets, an award-winning designer and creative
director of Ioukhnovets Studio, envisioned the magazine's new
aesthetic identity. Ioukhnovets has created signature designs for
brands such as GQ, W, Allure, The New York
Times Magazine and many others. "We're using warm color
palettes, stylish fonts and inviting cover portraits to evoke a
mood and seasonality. By arranging the information in a playful,
informal way, we aim to add more inspiration to a modern woman's
busy life," says Ioukhnovets.
"Our readers are the busiest women in America," says Family
Circle VP/Publisher Lee
Slattery. "By giving them ideas for staying up-to-date and
organized in all aspects of their lives while connecting them to
popular influencers and experts in its pages, we're working even
harder to serve up content that matters most to them."
Major advertisers in the September issue feature such well-known
brands and marketers as Allergan, Coca-Cola, Maybelline New
York, Waverly, Aveeno, Kraft
and Olay, among others.
