9. SUMMARY
Comparing my items to many that are already on the market I think helped me
craft my magazine. I studied them on heavy detail and I think it has worked off,
I am proud of my magazine and I would happily say it would be seen on the
shelves of supermarkets and newsagents up and down the UK.
