This was the first magazine front cover I had ever designed. I used an A4 size on this design as I found out that in industry, most magazines are actually around A4 size because if they were any bigger or smaller, the magazine would actually cost more to cut and print out so thinking in an industry point of view, A4 would be the most reasonable size. also the majority of the time, most backpacks and handbags that people usually carry around are about A4 sized or bigger, making A4 the most handy and easy size in a consumers view point and stance. I felt that the cover design was bland and boring and looked almost like an odd business magazine as gaming magazines tend to contain larger cover lines and more eye-catching images.
