Entry 9: comparing paper to electronic magazines

Entry 9: the Bazar magazines

Covers from Henry Wolf-1958 and 1959

I find it fascinating that the Bazaar and Esquire magazines were saved by one man, Henry Wolf. The esquire and Bazaar magazines were about to go under due to the great presence of Playboy magazine. Wolf studied under Brodovich. In 1953 he became the art director of Esquire. It is still going strong and are as popular as Allure and Wired magazine. The picture above is of three of his magazine covers.

Esquire Magazine- May 2018 edition

The next picture is of the cover of the electronic Esquire magazine from the nearby library system. This is the May addition. I wanted to include this picture to show how much magazine have come. The 21st century have traded paper for a user interface. The best part is the ability to save paper. Magazine now a days can be read on computers, tablets and even our phones. Sometimes the library would have a subscription to the electronic magazine provider which makes it free for those that have a library card. Best of both worlds.
