The theme of my magazine is predominantly black and white I did this to make the game seem dark or evil. This was based off a rap magazine with Kendrick Lamar. However, some parts of my magazine are red, these are used to create contrast and make certain parts of the magazine stand out. For example, the main focus of my magazine is a game called overtale, therefore I have used bright writing to make it stand out and draw people’s attention.  

The target audience for my magazine was men aged 20+ and mainstreamers. Mainstreamers will buy the magazine as they enjoy using physical copies as they can use them for decoration, collections or to read while using public transport like getting the train or bus to work. 

The definition of upload is the transfer of data from one computer to another. This is my title because using the magazine I am giving information to other people about computers. 

In my magazine I plan to use advanced and instructional langauge to inform readers on certain games without making it to formal or boring. The magazine is aimed at adults therefore I have used a dark theme to create a sense of evilness while not being to child-like or naïve. 

My main character is a reactionary icon which supports dominant ideology, as he is a representation of a stereotypical male gaming character. We can tell this as he is a very large muscly character who has a very stern unwelcoming face. He is displayed on top of a very dark sinister background of the empty beach at night. This helps to support the signification of the character as it helps to show he is a lone person who doesn’t need support from others and can defend himself and over come his challenges alone.

In my magazine the main idea is that gaming is fun and the consumers of the product love gaming. My target consumer would be a dominant or negotiated consumer as their opinions are that gaming is amazing or the gaming is something new to them and they don’t love it or hate it.
