The document provides three potential ideas for magazines: 1) A video game magazine with colorful covers featuring heroic characters and explosions to attract viewers. Dark and bright colors would be used. 2) A movie magazine highlighting recent and classic films with attractive colors and factual information about each. 3) An entertainment magazine covering local events, music, movies, with both dark and bright colors to appeal to different tastes. Discount codes could also be included.

1. Initial Plans

2. Mind Map
Potential ideas
For my first idea I might create a game cover that
represents everything that a game should be or at
least what a good character should be, this is
because people want something they will be
visually attracted to and morally interested in, this
would be a good option to go for because if I am
interested in the idea myself I will be able to create
a better product.
Some ideas I could put into the game cover is
explosive colours that pop and grab the eyes of
many, I would like to open there imagination when
they see the cover. For this to work I would need a
strong powerful character with the colours around
him and some on him. One example of this is JB
blazkowics from wolfenstein. Some ideas I could
do with him is making him look heroic with
patriotic colours around him or explosions to make
him look brave and intimidating. Another thing I
could do with him is have half of his face showing
with half of it darkened to show his good side but
also to show his dark and evil side, this would be
good because it will give him two personas which
the viewer can perceive him off.
For my second idea I could create movie magazine, the main
things I would put in this movie magazine would be the latest
and best movie on the front with attractive colours to lure the
consumers in to acknowledge, I would also put some factual
information next it and repeat this process for films that are
the best ever made in history. This idea should attract people
from all age groups that like films from action to comedy to
romance or even black and white films. With the wide range
of verity that will be in the movie magazine all age and race
groups will want o look at it. I will have to make sure though
that all the movies have the same amount off factual
information.
another idea I have on this subject is that I cold just focus on
one film and talk about that but also add little headlines and
boxes advertising different things. So I would have a one main
plot and clear story whilst having others around it to give the
magazine some more depth.
My third and final idea I have is a entertainment
magazine, some main things I could add in this
entertainment is key areas in the region that host
comedians or other forms of social events. I could
also add some recently released music and movies.
One way that I would mainly colour this magazine
would be with some dark colours and some bright
colours, this is because not everybody is a fan of the
nice colours but some like dark colours. The reason I
would also do this is because it could take people
away just because they don't like then colour, they
could get the wrong image and thinks its for
something else, one way I could counter this is by
having a big title so people can easily recognise it. In
this magazine I could also add promotional things like
discount codes for bars or social events like concerts.
This would be good again because it would attract a
bigger audience, not just one specific audience.

Final idea
Colour scheme
The main colours that I will use in my game magazine will be a
mixture between dark and light colours, this is because the main
style of game I will be having on my front page is going to be an
action shooter, this requires dark colours to represent bad and
then I will use bright colours to show the pop and wow of the
game.
Some colours I was thinking of was black, light blue, dark green,
dark yellow, brown and red. I think these colours will be the best
because some blend in and some don’t which is what I want. I
would like the dark colours to blend so I can use the lighter
colours to show the difference between them and bring the
colours out. This I feel will be very good. I might also separate
the dark colours as well because then the front page has a more
equal spread of colours and a balance of contrast. This will be
more effective because it covers more ground on the front page
drawing more people into looking at the magazine. I might also
have a colour scheme for the adverts and side titles on my
magazine cover, this would be good because it could tell people
what is in side with one colour and show people what isn’t and
what is been advertised, this would make it much easier for
people to navigate there way around the game magazine.
Main targets
The main things I would like to put into this video game magazine would be a
big main title to attract people, I would also like to add a big main character in
the centre or maybe a big main game title that is well known by many in the
gaming community like halo, call of duty or maybe player unknowns battle
grounds which is the most downloaded and played game and streamed game
on steam and twitch, this title on my video game would be very good. other
things that I would like to include in this video game magazine will be good
factual information about several games like a rating system, and also main
information on one single game that really stands out like PUBG ( player
unknown battlegrounds) which I have briefed over already.
One other concept that I might add in this magazine might be referrals to game
shop websites, this would be very good because I can show people where the
best deals are at the moment like at GAME or cex. This would be very
beneficial for me because the game companies could advertise my magazine
generating more publicity for the magazine which means more people will get
it because top shops like GAME are very successful getting over millions of
customers a month.
For the game cover I might mix different games together instead of just one, this is
because if there are more than one game on the front there is a wider genre
attracting people who might not like shooters, I could add some racing games into
the mix or maybe cartoon games like crash bandicoot or happy wars. This should
surely attract a wider audience. I would be also attracting a different age rage
altogether as well because if young kids can play shooters then at least there is
something to look at and read on that isn’t a shooter in my magazine.

4. Mood Board

5. Mood Board Analysis
Is there any repetition in the images you have collected? Repeated
colours/images styles/fonts/tone/mood
In my mood board there was repeated images but they all had
different ideas but the same style. This is good though because with all
these images I can from tem which ones are the best ones to follow of.
All of the images had different colours which is good because I can see
what colours work best.
How will your mood board influence your final product?
My mood board will influence my final product strongly because with
the images I have at the minute I can create a very good product. The
colours the are on m mood board are the colours I want so I can see
how I wan to design m magazine from the mood board, this should
further help me create a good product.
