Working title: “Game Review”
Target audience: 12-22-year-old boys with varying skill levels. This magazine can be used for beginners who are looking to fulfil their adrenaline a need of racing and they may look at the magazine for an opinion on the game’s quality and worth. In addition, existing simulator racers would use this to find any new tips and compare this to over games and magazines for their own opinion.
Niche Interest context: My intent with this magazine front cover is to give comprehensive and balanced views to the gaming community about weather a certain game is entertaining, exciting, enjoyable and fun. I want to do this by showing positives and negatives within a game. In my magazine, my game will be called “M series”. “M series” is a racing game so I would review areas such as handling model, graphics and how the artificial intelligence performs against the player. By giving a fair and balanced review people can save their money if they aren’t intrigued or play, however on the other hand “Game review” can promote a game bringing in money and profit.
Why is this a variable magazine title? The “Game Review” title gives me flexibility about what type of game used as it can be about any game in the world. It doesn’t just have to be about racing but, about modern first-person shooters of old retro games.
Proposed use of language: The magazine will use informal language, modern slang and specific vocabulary linked to the game. This would be more interesting to the viewers because they would prefer to read something less informal especially from the age of 12-22.
Proposed representation form for the audience: I intend to use different images in my contents page to include different races making the overall magazine feel more welcoming to other ethnicity’s and races other that stereotypical white gamers.
Where will I get my content from: I will create my own opinion on a game created, so the overall view and opinion is my own that isn’t influenced by others so it is as raw and unbiased as possible
