Arts and lifestyle title debuts and eyes both sexes

SHANGHAI: A monthly lifestyle, design and arts magazine, Vision, has been launched in China, claiming that its positioning as a magazine for men and women is unique.

The monthly, published by the Yifei Group in partnership with China Youth Magazine, has contracted Casia Media to handle advertising sales. Group chief financial officer Richard Chen, said: "There are magazines for men, women, home decoration and auto magazines to name a few, however, the market does not have a magazine for both men and women. "

The company has targeted advertisers in the travel, consumer electronics and automobile categories. About RMB 10 million (US$1.4 million) has been invested in Vision, which will be distributed mainly in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The initial print run is set at 100,000 copies.
