For my game magazine I plan to make a reactionary aimed at young men I plan to do this by using dark themes with a mid-shot looking at the characters back. I’m doing this because I find the eerie look interesting and stands out compared to other magazines. I will also use dots of colour like red for the important notices around the magazine this will attract the reader’s attention which will talk about the most popular games in the magazine. My title and main attraction of the magazine will cover most of the front cover with my character image being the best as it will be the first thing to appeal to a consumer.
The contents page will be very basic as it’s not used to try influence people to read it and needs to be simplistic, so people find it easy to get the page they need. However, I will still have some interesting details like small cut outs of characters with page numbers. These will be used as small features for the most popular pages of the magazine.
My first advert is for a mouse which seems dull as everyone has a mouse, but I will use special effects to make it stand out to give the advert so colour and to create some interest. I will keep to the theme of the magazine by creating a black background almost space themed, but I will add an element of blue as the product has blue LEDs on it. My second advert will be an advert for a basketball game this because most people in my target audience will be interested in sport
My double page spread will be the main feature of the game which will involve using brownish colours to link to the front cover using fire or the desert which will continue the theme throughout the magazine.
