The document summarizes research on existing game magazine covers. It finds that they commonly advertise new upcoming games prominently on the front with colorful graphics and titles that stand out against the background. Main games are given larger images than others to draw more attention. Colors, characters, and graphics that match the theme of the featured games help promote them and catch readers' eyes. The research will inform the creation of a new magazine cover that highlights major new 2018 releases in a visually engaging style similar to those analyzed.

2. Existing Product
This magazine shows the
main game and the titles of
other games but less
anticipated for when they
came out
The title of the magazine PC
GAMER stands out because
the colours are not the game
or similar to the background
and the title is also bald so it
stands out even more.
With the character of
battlefield 3 it covers most
of the cover to make more
people look at it then the
other games.
The age rating is 18 so that
means that the target
audience is 18 years +
The game would want other
people to play it buy the
cover and because the other
battlefields would encourage
other people to play the
new battlefield

3. Existing Product

red and white and with the
background been black
and grey its stands out
even more
With the background been
black it suits the game and
the characters in the
background
All the other titles are the
same as assassins creed
red and white so this make
the magazine cover better
because if they was
different colours then it
would not look right
The characters on the cover
are from assassins creed and
that makes it stand out and
also promotes the game so
the people looking at it know
what the main game is.

7. Audience Profile
Category Demographic Content to appeal to this audience
Age Range
16-20 • The reason why I have made it 16-20 is
because the new games what are coming
out this year are mostly 16+ so if anyone
younger got the magazine it would not be
appropriate
Gender
Male and female • The reason why its male and female is
because both genders can play on consoles
and pc
Psychographic
Balanced • The reason why I have chosen balanced is
because they want to achieve in life and I
also want my magazine to be successful
Social Status
Middle class • Because middle class people would be more
interested with games because they will
have more people who play games then
upper or lower class
