The theme of my magazine cover is predominantly darker colours to refer to a horror game which is called ‘The Revenant’. Colour grading is used in the horror genre to set the mood or for symbolisation. This gives off a chilling effect to enlighten the reader on what genre it is instantly.  

The target audience for the magazine are the ages of 12-15 as towards that age range kids are hooked on the latest gaming news and information. Children this age are keen to know all the gossip and facts within the gaming industry, hence why this is the age is the specific target audience.  

My title for the magazine is World of Gaming. I chose to use this title because I thought it would entice the reader and attract them into reading it. The noun ‘world’ addresses the topic of gaming to everyone giving them an idea of what gaming is really like. Also, I decided to use this title to base it off the popular magzine ‘PC Gamer’ to attract similar groups of people that read that magazine. The title itself is in a bold font ‘Showcard Gothic’ and the colour used is orange. This bright, exotic colour will instantly stand out and attract attention.  

Finally, the main character, that fills the whole front cover, is suggested to be a designer of the game ‘The Revenant’. He is the iconic symbol within the magazine as he is the main character.
