What a beautiful visual appeal. The magazine really identifies emotion through words that pop and articles that are enticing without being too text-heavy. A perfect use of color kept me reading to the end with articles I enjoyed.

Really pretty. I loved the contest to find the word “joy” throughout the publication, giving people a reason to read closely.

This is a very fresh and varied design for a big anniversary magazine. I loved the archival footage combined with lots of new elements. Nicely done.

I'm a softy at heart when it comes to art on the front cover—such a talking piece for when it is placed on the coffee table. Beautiful layout throughout, and I loved the combination of old (history) with new (current).
