Comparison of magazines

The first magazine that i looked at was the ETC: Education/Training/Careers magazine. The presentation of this magazine is very good and to me it looks very well made.
  • On the contents page there is articals such as 'The front bit', which contains random things and some random information about different things, 'Life', 'Moving on' and 'Careers' which has a huge list of careers such as the Royal Navy, Marine Engineering Technician, Playworker etc.
  • There is a section on music which gives you the name of some bands and artists and tells you a little bit about them.
The second magazine that i looked at was Smaart Talent.
  • The cover of Smaart Talent is glossy and looks well made like the last magazine that i looked at.
  • There is many differnet fonts used for the front cover.
  • On the front cover the woman on the front of the magazine is covering up on of the letters of the title so i didn't know what it said until i asked someone.
The third magazine i looked at was First Car.
  • The of this magazine isn't glossy so it hasn't got as good a quality paper or not made aswell as the other two magazines.
  • There is also to much on the page, which makes it look over crowded.
  • There is some bright colors in the page such as the title, which really is the first thing you would want to see.
