My first impression from the magazines were different in each one. Each magazine had there own spin on something, and they had different topics to cover. 

First, Vouge is a fashion magazine that is targeted towards wealthy people. The article states that magazines with longer articles ca cause less attention. Since vogue has small articles, this is appealing to new audiences. Vogue uses very unique title pictures and cover photos, to draw in their audience with photos of exaggerated contrast and bold pictures with bold fashion clothes. People who lie fashion will be immediately drawn towards this magazine witch allows vogue to get new audiences. 

Next GQ is similar the way it attributes to fashion, except its for men. The articles states that people are slowly starting to read longer articles. The magazines main goal is to attract wealthy men to this magazine. The cover images are very bold like vogue, and they uses famous men that guys like. A recent article had a cover image of Travis Scott, which can attract a new audience of people who listen to Travis Scott and want to read the article. This magazine is very unique in the way that it is always trying to attract a new audience, which will cause a lot of different perspectives to the magazine. 

Next is Men's Health. This magazine is about, well you guessed it, Men's Health! This attracts readers who are men and want to be healthier. The cover photo has a info section on what is in the magazine, and it is very organized and well put together. This magazine will be constantly be attracting new men everyday that are concerned with their health. This magazine is very professional, so I believe it is aimed at an older adult male audience. 

Next is sports illustrated. This magazine attracts readers who are usually in late teens, or college. The reader of this magazine are people who are very into sports, and like to stay updated. The covers on this magazine are all very similar, with the same format and the same text. This magazine targets a younger audience that is into sports. This attracts new readers that recently start getting into sports, which is why they use a vey conversational tone and style, to appeal to the younger audience.

Last, is Southern living. This article is directed at people who live in  the south, and how to decorate their homes accordingly. This brings in a lot of new readers, who have just moved south, and want to know what its all about. Each magazine had its own unique style that would appear to the different perspectives of the readers. The magazine vouge is going to be much different than sports illustrated, because each magazine is appealing to a different audience, with a different reading perspective.
