What parts of this magazine (Men's Health) front cover appeal to you?
"I like the layout of the magazine, all text is placed perfect to align with the main image, which outlines a sense of masculinity. I also like how the masthead is placed centre-top as it will be seen straight away by the reader."
Do you think a regional magazine would be more interesting?
"If it had the right and suitable features, then yeah, a regional magazine would be more interesting. Most international or national magazines barely include all regions, leaving them out, it isn't fair."
What other male lifestyle magazines do you read and are aware of?
"I mainly read Men's Health and GQ. I've heard of the likes of Esquire but barely read it."
Should a magazine have the right value for money?
"I think it's a bit ridiculous to pay £5 for a few pages. There needs to be a big value of money, especially for a magazine."
What features in a magazine would appeal to you?
"Stuff like food, technology and fashion interest me the most, those would be the articles that would stand out to me."
Would you like to see local fashion included?
"I agree that local fashion should be included, it can reflect on the success of local independent retailers and their progression in the age of fashion."
And finally, what is your ideal magazine?
"My ideal magazine would have articles on food, technology, fashion and sport. And the front cover would have to really be unique and grab the reader's attention straight away."
