What I really like about this magazine is that the clean and modern look it has which is continued throughout the entire magazine. It looks very up to date and really appeals to the target audience, being college students, by having bright colourful pages and articles. I also like how each article has a large photograph that relates to the article itself, which would allow a reader in a shop to get a good understanding of what the magazine has to offer even with a quick flick through it. This is important, especially with magazine's features as they need to stand out and grab the readers attention. This is a common factor in nearly all magazines and is a convention of magazines in general, as it really benefits the company in gaining more readers if they see a few articles that interest them on the first few pages. This magazine really lives up to these conventions and, as you read through the first few articles you can tell how much they stand out.

The way this magazine is laid out is very organised and neat, making it easy to read and find certain articles. It also has a clean fresh look about it which helps hit the target audience as they will be young students looking for opportunities and interesting articles. I feel this magazine really appeals to that franchise and also achieves a great look in the process. The articles are very suited to the age group and doesn't patronise the reader, which is very important in teenage magazines. In most popular teen/student magazines I think it's very easy to underestimate the interests of that particular age group, so missing the readers interests entirely is a fatal mistake when writing for this age group. It's also important not to think of them as adults and not involve too many mature articles, to keep in mind the age of your target audience and I think this magazine achieves this really well.

This magazine differs from the others greatly in the way that it isn't a casual leisure magazine, but instead is an informative text about courses for a university. The layout is far more mature and educational as opposed to bright and exciting. Instead it is more information based and it's purpose is to advise readers on choices being made about their education. I think that's why there is a continuing theme of these pictures of a skeleton, which is obviously an intellectual notion. It's put there to remind the reader of what they are inquiring about and why they are reading it.The pictures of people taking part in various activities that are being written about on that pages allows the reader to have an insight into what they might do if they took that particular course.
