this magazine is well thought out and the layout is very neat, having the same theme of the vine on each page gives the magazine a flow.

the magazine has a variety of serious news and entertainment. theres advice on careers and gcse options.

there is infomation and reviews on previous trips, opinions and thoughts of pupils that went on these trips, giving advice to the year below, if they are thinking of going on the same trips.

there is a balance of images and writing, there is alot of colour giving me the impression this is aimed at younger pupils that sixth form, such as key stage 4.

there is infomation of shows that are coming up and that have past. there is a good educational value, such as book reviews.

there are gig and live entertainment and music reviews of outside of school, therefore there is a social aspect.

there are album reviews of recent albums that have been released to let people know of new things to try out.

there is even a guide about how to start eating healthy, and as people are trying to aim it at younget people so they dont get into bad eating habits this would be very interesting and useful.

i think there is a good use of colour and a balance of text and images, the content is very useful and entertaining to the pupils and i imagine proves very popular.

here is just an example of the colour and images used, attracting the target audience.
