TIME has been around since 1923 and its iconic covers have had little change since its original issue. The classic red outlines and black font have become the icons of the magazine. The red outline works well to frame the many iconic photos that have graced the front of the magazine. The covers of the magazine really invoke the limbic brain with its pictures that really provide insight on what is within the magazine. The riveting images that have been on covers of the magazine really work to get the attention of those who are looking at magazines. The magazine is really full of value messages, desgined to inform the reader of issues throughout the world, as well as good things that are going on throughout the world. TIME really hits on all subject areas and uses testimonials to prove its point. There are sections within the magazine (briefing, commentary, features, and culture) that work to build a well rounded magazine. What is great about time is that it is published every week, so the news is always current and changing. The magazine is currently owned by Time Warner, and works in association with CNN. What is really great though is how time is available on electronic reading devices, adding to the aesthetic shift that is happening in our 21st century media culture.
TIME also has its own YouTube channel, so they are really going into the digital age quite well. They also have a weekly show on YouTube that asks 10 questions of influential people, an example is seen below. TIME is a great way of keeping involved with what is going in the world week by week and provides interesting topics for readers to divulge in.
