a certain phase or level in the game . Certain glitches and a whole lot. In Every issue of the magazine the title of the magazine is always obscured this tells us about
the mentality used behind the central image. Since the Editors of the magazine do not want to compromise on the size of the character or the image that is used on
the front cover, The title of the magazine however always get obscured this tells us the fact that editors want the viewer a pure depiction of the central image. PC
gamer has no price Tags or barcodes on its front cover. The images that are used on the front cover are usually mid level shots and extreme close up shots. This is
also done so that the reader could understand the expression or the actions of the character or the image.

of the heading “Content”. Now different fonts are used to attract the attention of the reader, To be catchy obviously a magazine related game genre would not keep
it fonts simple that would make the magazine look boring. The use of different colors on the content page can also be seen this is also done to keep the reader
interested in what the magazine is talking about. The most important featured story in the magazine will always be centrally located in this case the featured story is
