1. The document proposes a video game magazine called "Tides of War" targeted towards males aged 16-24 from upper middle class backgrounds. Photoshop will be used to create fan art images for the cover. 2. The magazine will include a review of Skyrim, an interview with one of its creators, and advertisements. Sections and issue numbers will mimic an actual magazine. 3. The proposal acknowledges weaknesses in writing long-form articles but strengths in layout and design.

Working Title:
Tides of war
Audience:
My Primary audience age wise will be 16-24 because that kind of age range will be the ones who
play the most video games. My primary audience for gender would be male because they are the
ones who you would think play videogames and like the thought of war games. My primary social
status would be upper middle class because that is what I am and I am creating the products for
someone like myself also I think more people play video games from the middle class than any
other. My primary psychographic would be socially conscious type B because these kinds of
people don’t like to interact with others and thus like to be on their own. My secondary audience
age wise will be 25-33 because even though you have less time to play the games or read the
magazines for the games but they would still be at the age to enjoy the products. My secondary
audience for gender would be female because that is the only other gender. My secondary social
status would be Lower middle class as they yet again are the kind of people who play videogames
and thus would buy magazines to find out more about them and my secondary psychographic
would be Balanced because they are the supportive type of person who would read the magazine
just to help out some others who play the video game.
Rationale (approx. 100 words)
Photoshop will be useful for creating the images of the video games to make some sort of fan art
esque kind of image to either draw it or add a bunch of gradients and masks to create some sort of
weird effect to an image that already exists my video games project will help me as I am doing a
video game based magazine and might be able to take some of the research and details from the
production to create something better hopefully.
Project Concept (approx. 200 words)
My project is going to be a video game magazine named something more or less like tides of war,
it will be called this because most of the good games that are released are to do with either fighting
or war, on the cover will be either some sort of fan art for a game or I would take an actual image
from a game and add some coulour gradients, effects and masks to create a background for the
cover to add a base of sorts. The other two pieces of things I will add to it is information on what I
would actually put into the other magazine pages if I had some time to complete a whole magazine
and also some other bits of information and maybe an issue number and or a bar, for the double
page spread I was going to use a review for a game such as Skyrim and maybe an interview with
one of the creators and lots of images to show off the art style and to also back up what I am
writing about in the columns and if I still have enough time I plan on creating an advert for the
magazine just to either show off or have some fun with it being like a 6 page magazine.
Evaluation (approx. 50 words)
My evaluation will mostly revolve around how it is set out as I know that is the bit that I am good at
however I am also probably give myself a bit of a bad review when it comes down to the writing of
the articles as I know I am absolutely rubbish at talking about the same thing for ages and I just
end up going in a completely different direction with it.
