The second magazine we decided to look at is called The Family Handyman. The cover of this magazine is similar to that of the HGTV magazine. It consists of a dark grey background with some white shelves that house the focus of the picture. Each shelf contains some picture frames of varying sizes as well as some other home decor items. On the page, there are arrows pointing to some of the different aspect of the picture are related to different articles in the magazine. The table of contents is arranged by sections with the actual contents arranged under around three pictures that are edited to be different colors. This magazine has articles that are centered aorund DIY projects around the house including many repair projects. It also had an article on how to make a DIY stone waterfall for your backyard on page 44. Page 48 advises the reader on how to make a bench out of pressure-treated landscape timbers. Unlike the HGTV magazine, this one contains a lot fewer ads. On page 17 there is a page of different coupons for many home-related products and some industrial tools as well. Page 42 contains an add for waterproofing your shower and gives all of the different options that the company offers. There are only a total of 4 ads throughout the magazine. The final ad is located on the last page and it is advertising a pressure washer. The distribution number for this magazine is 1,158,743 copies per month. It doesn't appear to have won any awards as of now.
