The magazine featured articles covering interior design, beauty, the arts, travel, finance, and lifestyle.
As such, returning advertisers include Prada, Lancôme, Samsung, AEG, and Panasonic.
In order to appeal to younger customers, Source underwent slight changes to give it a more modern look, including changing the font on the spine from serif to sans-serif, and writing the issue numbers in numeric format rather than text.
Source was only available from John Lewis and Waitrose branches in the UK, although the previous five issues are shown on the magazine's website.
The first five issues had a coloured circle on the cover reading "Free to John Lewis and Waitrose customers".
