Vital magazine combines a bold colour palette with fun illustration to redefine accountancy

When picturing a magazine about accountancy I bet you a tenner you wouldn't picture Vital magazine. The quarterly publication is aimed specifically at accountancy students, and features articles and updates from both tutors and industry experts. Through a brave palette of colours, and fresh feeling illustrations, it's far from dry.
