NEA First Draft

Overview of my magazine

For my magazine i’m going to use 8bitart to make the gaming characters at the top of the page. I’m then going to have three plugs at the bottom of the page to make the magazine more informative of the information inside it. My magazine will also have a character in the middle of the page to do this I will take a picture of someone dressed up and then I will edit it in Photoshop so it looks more gamer like. At the bottom of the magazine I will have a logo which I will create on 8bitart as well. I’d like it to be bright friendly colors with lots of children appropriate games.

Who my magazine is aimed at?

My magazine is aimed at younger children around the age of 10 to 13. As they are young they won’t have jobs so the price for the magazine will be around £2.50 as this is a reasonable amount of money for them to use their pocket money. It will be for both boys and girls. The games they will be interests in will be Mario and Sonic and more games like that. Their will be give away in my magazine as my audience won’t be able to just go buy themselves a new computer device. The consumers for my magazine will still be in education.

Magazine cover start

For my magazine I would like a big picture in the middle as the main focus, I’d also like one big main title at the top of the page. I want new upcoming games along the bottom with a bar code and along the side I want gaming news and smaller subheadings with pictures to intrigue the reader.

NEA first draft

I was planning on putting a different character of a game in each small box that will eventually fill the whole page. I wanted to leave the background white and use red and white in the title. I’d write the features/ extra information at the bottom of the page in 3 different boxes placed next to each other.

Ideal consumer:

  • gender: male
  • age: 14-18
  • genre: retro games
