Launched in 1972, Cosmopolitan capitalised on women’s interest in love, sex and work. The frank and empowering way it addressed these issues contributed to its success. This book charts the charges in the lives of young women over the last 20 years through topics that Cosmo became renowned for covering: Lipstick feminism, sex, fashion and beauty advice, and social issues such as sexual health and domestic violence. Author Linda Kelsey, who worked on Cosmo at its launch, went on to hold senior roles on Company and SHE.

Relaunches

Riba Journal

Sector: building

Publisher: Builder Group and Royal Institute of British Architects

Frequency: monthly

Price: £5.50

The RIBA Journal has gone from being A4 to a shorter, wider format. Designer Stefano Arata said: “A4 is the worst possible size for a magazine. It doesn’t get an emotional reaction. It’s just a piece of stationery. The magazine is very busy with ads so I was trying to brand the editorial with a strong grid and a small slug. Because adverts often feature san serif type faces, we are using slab serif, which is a strongly architectural design. It helps differentiate between the ads and the editorial. There’s a scheme of black, red and yellow which are strong colours and are familiar to the language of architectural design.”
