RedEye vs. Chicago Reader Wherever one may go across Chicago, one comes across two types of people. One may come across a person who enjoys reading RedEye, and a one who enjoys the Chicago Reader.

RedEye is greatly known for its bold red border on its magazine, and for the newsstand shape on the magazine. The Chicago Reader can be recognized by its iconic “R” and by its bold, yet classy, lettering as well as its yellow color. RedEye always has an appealing image on its cover.

The only way a person can know the difference with RedEye and Chicago Reader is by digging through the colorful images and news articles, and actually analyzing what all the articles have in common. RedEye, for example, would give the impression that it is intended for a younger audience, because of the contents.
