I have worked in the hairdressing industry for many years now and I am always looking for things that will entertain the customers, while I am busy working on others. I always buy hair and high fashion magazines which are fine but how many hair styles and overly priced clothes can you look at in a few hours without getting board. These in price costing have been costing between 3.50 and 6.95 per issue, and it got disheartening when you would see clients just flick through the pages randomly.

One of these magazines was That’s Life! which comes out weekly and is priced at 65p. This is one of several almost identical looking magazines aimed at women from around 20 to 60. Whilst being one of the cheapest, I’m afraid the look of it suffers from the obvious cost-cutting measures they have employed, as the paper itself is low quality and feels almost greasy to the touch. The magazine is 48 pages long and seems very crowded, with photos and texts fighting for space and your eyes unsure as to what to focus on next. The cover ...
