This magazine cover uses red and white as its main colors which helps the font stand out against the background image. The background image depicts a scene from a highly anticipated 2014 game known for its graphics. In smaller text, another anticipated game "Fallout 4" is referenced which won several awards. The use of these iconic game images will catch the attention of the magazine's target audience.

2. PC Gamer Magazine
There is two main colours used in this magazine
cover red and white, these are iconic to the
authors of the magazine as it is there theme and
really makes the font stand out from the picture
and also easier to read the small text on the right,
the image that is used on the magazine is a game
that is iconic known by gamers as in 2014 it was
known as one of the most graphically intense. This
is a good use of this image as people who walk
past it will recognize the image straight away and
be interested, there is also a very big game that is
referenced with a small image called “Fallout 4”
this image and this game is one of the most
anticipated games and won many awards in the
some of these are the 2016 bafta best game and
best music. I like the usage of these games in this
magazine as they are some of the most greatest
games in the gaming industry and will catch the
attention of the audience especially because it is
black on white

3. PC Gamer Magazine
This magazine cover is a good example
of letting you know what the game is
about just from the picture, the game that
is shown in the magazine is an
anticipated sequel from the first one, the
picture you see is made of skulls and
there is a soft red light on the right side
of the face, the skulls to signify that it is
something to do with death or something
along those lines, the soft red light is a
stylistic code to represent blood, death
and to show the character is evil. The
typeface really stands out from the
background as most of the background
is either black or a dark gray
