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.
