I wanted my front cover to be appealing to young adults and adults with children, and before I started working on it properly knew that I intended to make the cover look sleek and professional. I edited the image on the cover thoroughly so that it would almost have a gritty and intense effect on whoever were to look at it; and made sure that readers would be immediately drawn in. The theme of “a Magazine for Gamers” is ideal in the sense that gaming is entertaining and a hobby which means that potential readers will already have an avert interest in this topic. I chose the name “Gamestarz” to subtly promote the idea that withing the digital world, you can make something of yourself and be a “star”. This notion would be appealing to young adults and teenagers. Also, the bright contrast between the black and white , and blue and red looks right at home with “pop culture” and furthermore brings more attention to the magazine as a whole brand. After looking at genuine and authentic games magazines I chose a clean and simple layout that would still be effect. Also, I decided to use a controversial question because not only is it a realistic piece of journalism but because it is relevant to the media society today.
