Magazine Analysis 1

Magazine Unit

Ideas for my Magazine

Some essential features on my magazine will be:

• Title 
• Images of a 'Game play'
• Articles of new/future games
• I will also need to think of  a price and how my magazine is going to be laid out.

This unit is going to be hard but I feel i am going to be able to pull it off with the help of my piers.

Gaming Magazine

1. A typical image for a front page is something relating to the genre of the magazine, so for example if it is a shooter-gaming magazine a screen shot of a gun or someone with a gun would be suitable.
2. I would say the average price for a magazine is around £4-6.
3. A lot of magazine have a prize such as 'Win a Xbox 360 with Free Live and Games' or 'Win a Trip to EA'
4. These magazines have a load of articles about the latest games out or reviews on a new game.
5. again the colours used have to relate to the game, so for example a pony ride to rainbow land would be a lot of pinks, yellows and oranges.
6. Around 100-200 pages gaming magazines have in them.
7. Maybe a demo or a picture of a new release or previous competitions winners. Also the price, date issued and the title of the magazine.     
8. Things that appear on the contents page are certain pages referring to reviews, game content and previews on the newest game coming out.
9. On a double page article there are images of the games, reviews on the game like how it is, graphics, story line and so on. It has around 2 big images and 3 little ones, it is laid out as 1 big one on each page and two little ones on each page. The font size ranges from different size so, the title is big and main content is small. it gives an overall verdict on Graphics, Sound and Lifespan out of ten.

What makes a great magazine?

Ten top things that make a magazine interesting for me are, Intriguing text such as 'Be a Millionaire Today' or 'Top Tips to have a good diet'.

Another is Good Content so a lot of info would be key. A magazine that has Images of things I like such as cars, games, cycling and girls makes a magazine great.

Someone attractive on the front cover intrigues me as it attracts a lot more people as well

Someone i admire on the front cover will encourage me to buy the magazine.

Your favorite hobby or game would make me and many others buy the sort of magazine they like.

Special Offers would make me buy the magazine countless times.

My favourite music artist would influence me to buy a magazines.

My Favourite cartoon or marvel character on the front cover.

The Magazine Unit

For our Magazine unit there are a number of things we have to do and rules to follow, some of these are that we have to:

• Make a appropriate Magazine
• NOT allowed to make a music or explicit image magazine
• Make sure the genre is clear
• We have to take some ourselves

We are allowed to make our magazine on any Genre we want apart from the ones we aren't allowed earlier mentioned. You are also allowed to work in pairs (but the work will not be split in half) 8 pages are required for this unit.
