This proposal outlines a gaming magazine aimed at gamers ages 12-19. The magazine will provide news, reviews of classic and upcoming games, and tips/guides to help gamers progress in games. It will cover topics like DLC, Shadow of War, and why companies should remake classic games. The goal is to inform and entertain readers about gaming in an accessible and accurate manner. Legal considerations include using character/game names but avoiding offensive or controversial content that could upset readers or social groups. While some similarity to existing magazines is inevitable, the proposal aims to sufficiently differentiate this magazine to avoid copyright issues.

What is it called? This can change if you think of something better later
GAMING MAGAZINE
Product’s Purpose:
What is the product’s purpose (entertain/educate etc.) and how will you achieve this?
This product is being made so people can be informed about new games and other
gaming news, I want to do this because I enjoy talking about games and my
knowledge of them is quite vast, because of this I feel like I am suitable to do this, this
will tell people about upcoming games like Shadow of War, the Shadow of Mordor
sequel, I will also talk about classic games and why companies should start bringing
back games like them, also I will talk about DLC and other gaming news as I feel like
this should all be in a gaming magazine.
Genre:
What sort of product is it
This product is a magazine about gaming and other media related products, it will
give all the best news and other information about games, gamers will loves this
magazine, it will be rather like the PC gamer magazine or the XBOX magazine and I
have taken inspiration from these for this magazine.
Content
What is your product about? Discuss what you would put in it (be specific). Does it have a story? If so,
discuss it here
My product is about giving news to people who enjoy playing all sorts of different
games, I am doing this because I enjoy talking about games and I believe gaming
magazines could be done a bit better, it will include news sections and it will have
sections on classic games or just older games in general such as Elder Scrolls
Oblivion or Elder Scrolls Morrowind or even Star Wars Battlefront (The Original
MUCH better one) This is what I’d like to talk about as I believe I am good at
speaking about all these things, I will also talk about gaming tips and eastereggs so
people will come to this magazine for help on how to complete certain things inside a
game so they can progress further, imagine a game guide but shorter and more
accurate.
Audience:
Who is your audience? Be very detailed; age, gender, social status,psychographic etc
Why would your project appeal to this person?
I am aiming for people who are inbetween the ages of twelve to nineteen as I believe
these people would be the ones to benefit from this news the most, I would aim or
people who are older than this but I believe they would already have their own
reliable resources, I am aiming for both genders as at this point I think it’s normal
for girls to play as many games as guys, If I were to only aim for one gender I believe
I would be being sexist and I do not want to give that off, the social status does not

matter, as long as they can afford a 3 pound magazine, they can buy this and will
enjoy it as long as they’re gamers, I am targeting gamers of course as this is a
magazine FOR gamers and talks about gaming, targeting people who don’t play
games just wouldn’t make sense, this will ensure I am targeting all the right people
and therefore I would be getting the best sails possible for the magazine.
Legal & Ethical Considerations:
Think about any offensive material you will include?
There will most likely be no offensive material included in this magazine aside from
me maybe bashing a few games if I felt like it.
Will you restrict youngerpeople using/accessing it?
No I firmly believe that is not my problem and that adults should be stopping their
children from viewing things they shouldn’t be, it shouldn’t fall down to me.
Will it offend any social groups/religions/ethnicities?
No this work will not offend anyone apart from people who are fans of the games
that I may critique, but I will not specifically go after any social, religious groups as
this is not my aim.
How will you ensure you do not offend anyone?
Well I can never be sure I'm not offending anyone, as most people get offended at
things these days, but I will just try not to swear or say anything controversial.
Are you using characters/names/logos ofexisting products/IPs?
Yes I will use the names of some characters from games or films, as this is needed for
writing my article I can't dodge saying their names, but this shouldn't be anything
that is bad, as I only mention them a couple of times.
Will you product be sufficiently different from existing products to not get sued for copyright infringement?
It will likely be quite similar to other magazines, but most magazines are similar
these days as they all have key things they are trying to work towards, a large bold
title to stand out to others to catch their eye and info on the front to tease people
about what's inside
