unit 5 preproduction

1. Pre-Production

2. Style sheet
Algerian = This font may work as a magazine as it look fancy and eye catching. It could suit as a headline because it has a fantasy look that will
suit dark souls. The font does look quite cheap and not very unique as well as it having a strange 3d effect making it unattractive.
Adobe gothic std = This font has quite a professional look that may suit as bold sub heading however this font will only work in the
book with all the formal text and not the front cover with the informal text. This can look very bland and boring to look at.
Bauhaus 93 = This font has a very unique design and also looks appealing to the eye. This will be used as a title on the front cover which would
show my product name. the kind of suits the theme as it is about gaming and the font looks quite techy however it also looks child like and informal.
Harlow solid ital. = I really like this font as it looks very unique and different. It has a very professional and artistic style to it. This font will
defiantly work as a title and maybe a headline. This title also fits a gaming theme with the very sci-fi style however the style may not suit the dark
souls theme.
I really like the layout of the edge magazines as they
have a very cool and artistic way of showing off there
front cover. Every magazine they make always looks
different as they are trying make it so that the layout fits
with the background image. This shows there unique
style and attractiveness. The sub headings are always
laid out in order to suit the background making it
artistic. They always have a header above the title as
another headline about a game or a console. They start
with bold text of an eye catching name like “BEYOND
MINECRAFT” and carry on the sentence with smaller
text.

3. Layout 1
DIGIT
AL
WITNESS THE HORIZON OF A NEW TAKE ON MAN VS MACHINE
Welcome to torture
Welcome to battle
Welcome to victory
Welcome to …
EXPIRENCE THE GAMING WORLDOn this layout I have played around different
names and font trying to find the most eye
catching and unique. This then lead me to
the name digital which isn’t already a
magazine and also fits the game theme. I
then wanted a good dark souls picture of
Artorias which a difficult boss in game. I
wanted him as he was on the front cover of
the first dark souls game. I made the image
go in front of the title to give a nice slight 3D
effect so that it looked professional. I then
added a slogan above the title “ experience
the gaming world” which isn’t very creative
but is nice and basic. I like it when edge ads a
smaller headline above the title showing off
another game so I did the same “ witness the
horizon”. That title also gives the summary of
the magazine content as well as the dark
souls image. I then had to add the main
headline which relates to the dark souls
image so I copied and pasted a rendered
image of the title. To finish off i made a quick
summary of what the game is about
creatively. “Welcome to torture, Welcome to
battle, Welcome to victory, Welcome to …”
The ellipses then leads the dark souls title
image.

4. Layout 2
Digital
Is thisthisgamegoingto be thebestin
franchise?
Is thisNintendo'scome
back?
Take on machines in
horizon
On this layout I have played around different
names and font trying to find the most eye
catching and unique magazine. I went with the
same name digital because Its hard to find
names that isnt already an existing product.
The name also fits the game theme. I gave the
title the Harlow Solid Italic font as It looks
professional and game like. I then wanted a
game image for the background. I wanted
something other than dark souls as I have
already done a layout for that. I found a good
Zelda image which would fit as a magazine
however it was a rendered background so I
filled it with a grey colour. After that I then had
to add the main headline which relates to the
Zelda image so I copied and pasted a rendered
image of the title. I made a quick summary of
what the game is about underneath the tile
with a rhetorical question. “is this this game
going to be the best in the franchise”. This was
in the same font as the title because it doesn’t
look random. I then had to ad sub headings
showing the content of what the magazine will
offer. I added two picture of a console and a
game. One is of the Nintendo switch and I have
asked rhetorically “is this Nintendo's come
back?”. This makes sense as Nintendo has lost
there popularity with the Wii U. the second
image is of the new game horizon. I typed the
headline “take on machines in horizon.”. I put
that as the game is all about battling machines.
