I have started my front cover by planning how Id create the cover. I created this all from hand drawing. Through my creative skills, I wanted to use them to design a colorful and eye-catching piece of work. I decided to draw Game of Thrones, as it would interest the older generation, as it is a very popular tv series at the moment. I would say it relates to gaming due to the title “Game of Thrones”. Furthermore, they have made Game of Thrones XBOX games for people to play. I think this was I good idea to put on my poster, as this PlayStation game is quite thrilling and exciting for many people. Also, having the dark colors can give a sense of evilness and spookiness, which can intrigue people who have an interest in eerie games. However, with having the dull colors from the drawing of the night king, it could possibly give an idea that the game is quite boring, yet it depends on how people view things.

I have also decided to draw the PlayStation game Avatar. In my opinion, this was a good idea as the characters have unique colors and features, therefore having the characters displayed on the front cover of a gaming magazine can be really outstanding and attractive. With the bold, bright colors of the blue and purple, it gives off a tranquil atmosphere.

I think the contrast of the grey, dark colors and the bright blue colors make the magazine front cover more interesting to look at, as the front cover page isn’t just full of bright colors, there is various colors of bright and dark.

I would say the Game of Thornes game is aimed towards adults, due to the graphics of the game and the fighting involved. However, on the other hand, for the Avatar game, I would say that it is more aimed towards the younger generation, as it is more fanciful and pg.

In my opinion, I think that the strongest areas of my magazine front cover is the Avatar drawing. I feel that it stands out the most, with its bright mix of blue and purple colors. Due to the characters in the Avatar game looking unique and bizarre (aliens) I would think that this would fascinate people and intrigue them into purchasing the magazine, as they may want to know more about it.

I have chosen to write words that best describe the games, e.g. for the Game of Thornes game, I have written ‘rivalry’ ‘powerful’ ‘medieval’ etc. This advertises the game being deadly and violent. On the other hand, for the game Avatar, I have written a description besides the picture, and I have enhanced the main words, such as ‘hero’ ‘epic’ and ‘beyond imagination’. This gives the reader an idea about what the game is, and how it is a very imaginative game full of fantasies.
