I came across this on LinkedIn and couldn’t stop thinking about it. In the article, we see a side-by-side comparison between a real Boys’ Life magazine cover and a redesigned mock-up of Girls’ Life—created by graphic designer Katherine Young.
The difference in messaging is both striking and upsetting. While Boys’ Life encourages ambition, curiosity, and future careers, Girls’ Life focuses on appearance and beauty tips.Kudos to Katherine Young for creating such a powerful visual statement. Sometimes one image really does say it all.
The real "Girl's Life" cover vs the "Boys Life" cover that inspired this article and graphic mockup.
