Blender Magazine

Since its launch in 2001, Blender has been the fastest growing music magazine in America. Each month, Blender provides its 2.3 million readers with insightful, comprehensive and entertaining coverage of the ever-changing world of popular music. From the striking graphics and edit of its FOB "Burner" section to its engaging compendiums and countdowns to its authoritative CD reviews section, Blender speaks to contemporary music fans with a unique voice that combines critical authority with the irreverence of the music it covers.

Alongside this voice is a graphic design approach engineered to reflect the flow of organic and mechanical sounds the magazine covers. This vibrant design delivers service and information with the ease that readers have come to expect in the computer age, while simultaneously giving them an immediate, lasting visual impact that will draw them in deeper.
