Interests: photography, editing, reading scandals in celeb stories

I love engaging with current events and the cultural production of media products. I find the overall psychology of why people enjoy things and their behaviours. Although I’m not particularly immersed in politics I do enjoy being updated in current affairs. I think fashion especially editorial is at the heart of what I do and I personally if I can like to buy magazines physically as it’s almost like a collection thing.

I don't often read magazines however when i

do, which is done on social media, i enjoy to

see how the models are dressed and how

they interact with one another looking at

their facial expressions and what that

conveys to the reader. I also appreciate when

a model looks aestetich and looks confident

in themselves.

Age: 17

Interests: academic success, self improvement guides

I enjoy flicking through magazines, I don’t normally read all articles, only those that I find interesting or with nice pictures, I especially like photos with bright colour. The self improvement guides I read, but I feel like the health industry has a sense of toxicity to it, like if you don’t look a certain way, you aren’t healthy.
