The document describes the process of creating a magazine article reviewing the video game Fifa 16. Photos were chosen that showed someone playing the game to relate to the topic. InDesign was used to create a basic template with columns and headers. A second page was considered but later discarded. The final design included two photos taken by the author and a cartoon logo under the article heading on the front cover. The review was then adapted for specific age groups by changing the text to suit teenagers or adults.
2. These are the photos that I have chosen and they are photos which where
taken by myself at home. I decided to use the pictures as it shows
somebody in urban clothes representing a gamer, and the are holding a
ps4 controller playing Fifa 16 which is the game that I am reviewing so this
is why it relates to the topic which I am writing my magazine about.
3. I decided to use In Design over Photoshop as
I find it more easier to create a basic template
for a magazine on this software.
4. I started out creating a basic template with columns, and
then I added headers and subheadings. I also filled in
the columns with random text to give me a basic idea of
how my magazine will look like with text.
5. I then decided to add a second page to my magazine and split it in half, When it came
down to my final idea I discarded that idea however this is what my magazine would
of looked like had I used two pages. The picture under the headline is what I was
going to use as my logo for my gaming reviews. And the other photos are of Fifa 16
and hands playing on a controller which is the photo I took inspiration from and
combined hand on a controller playing Fifa and managing to fit it all into one
photograph.
6. Then I wrote my own article review of Fifa 16,
I took inspiration from other gaming reviews
on the internet. I had not taken my own
photographs at this point in time creating this
mock up so I used pictures from the internet
7. Then I created my final idea, I decide to discard the two
page idea and just use one being the front cover, I
added in two of the photos which I took myself and
added the logo of the cartoon with a headset under the
heading of my article.
8. Then when I had to adapt my review for
a specific age group I changed up my
magazine and changed the text so that it
was only talking about teenagers
9. I then did the same but this time I
adapted my magazine towards adults,
and just like the one for teenagers I
changed the text so that it suited adults.
10. I then did the same but this time I
adapted my magazine towards adults,
and just like the one for teenagers I
changed the text so that it suited adults.
