Since my original magazine pair was already mentioned earlier, I thought I would cover the online versions of each. As was mentioned in the book and in class, Artforum.com is a strange hybrid art world and gossip news site. The original magazine, though not without advertisements, I would say is the austere older relative of artforum.com, where I personally was not sure how some of the information pertained to contemporary art.
When looking at Juxaposed.com, I noticed that the site itself was not far off from the content categories found in the magazine. The art shown was primarily boldly colored, graffiti oriented, or tattoo-esque. It was also easy to navigate. Though it was designed with a younger generation of viewers in-mind, it was surprising loyal to the artwork the editors presented rather than celebrity gossip.
