JoYS shared Seed's focus on the roles of science in many aspects of society, as well as its emphasis on design.

"[4] High fashion also permeated the magazine's advertising, which included "Hugo Boss, Kaluha [sic], Evian, Club Monaco, Absolut Citron, Kenzo, [and] Skechers" in the first issue;[4] The Christian Science Monitor described the juxtaposition of the graphic design as "often making it difficult to tell where the journalism ends and the sales pitches begin".
