This proposal outlines a gaming magazine aimed at informing readers aged 14-25 about upcoming games. The magazine will provide information on consoles and gaming in general. As the target audience is gamers in the middle and lower classes, the magazine is expected to appeal to readers' interest in gaming news and releases. Some games discussed may contain mature content like violence, but the magazine itself will not be rated. The proposal notes legal obligations to avoid offensive material and copyright infringement from using logos and brands, while differentiating the magazine's design.

1. Proposal
1
Working Title: gaming magazine
What is it called? This can change if you think of something better later
Product’s Purpose: to inform the audience about gameswhich are going to come out
What is the product’s purpose (entertain/educate etc.) and how will you achieve this?
Genre: information magazine about games
What sort of product is it
Content: my magazine isabout gaming which will include information about consoles as
well asgaming in general
What is your product about? Discuss what you would put in it (be specific). Does it have a story? If
so, discuss it here
Audience: the audience is varied as its based of the ages of 14-25 and also it is not gender
specific as its not just men who game and it tends to be the middle class and lower class
who will buy the magazine, it will appeal to my audience because the audience I have
chosen are gamers and they will be interested in the magazine
Who is your audience? Be very detailed; age, gender, social status, psychographic etc
Why would your project appeal to this person?
Legal & Ethical Considerations: the only thing I could think of being offensive are if games
are rated 18 and they contain bad language or violence, the book will not have an age rating
but the games included are for 14-18 years and above which the parents have full control
whether or not they can have it, I believe it will not offend any religions because it will not
contain any material which will offend them such as swearing, I will continue to look at my
product looking out for anything which could possibly be offending, as it’s a gaming
magazine it will be using a lot of game producers logos and console brands, my product
won’t be different in context wise however the design will be different.
Think about any offensive material you will include?
Will you restrict younger people using/accessing it?
Will it offend any social groups/religions/ethnicities?
How will you ensure you do not offend anyone?
Are you using characters/names/logos of existing products/IPs?
Will your product be sufficiently different from existing products to not get sued for copyright
infringement?
