Ideas For The
Magazine
Masthead
For my masthead I have opted to keep it simple so there is
no confusion or ambiguity about the content in the magazine. The name I have
chosen is “gamer”.
The colour of the text on the Masthead will depend on the
colours surrounding the main image. The
ideas I had for colours were green which has connotations of the Xbox console
or Blue which has connotations of the Playstation console. This would directly
fit well with the gaming genre. For the text I want a bold text that is clear
and can be read from a distance, also I do not want the main image to cover any
of the masthead as I have seen in other magazines, the reason this was in other
magazines is because they were well established so people already knew what
they were reading without looking to the Masthead for clues.
Main Image
For the main image I plan to take a real life picture of
somebody or something that can fit in with the gaming genre such as a car which
can fit the racing genre or a person holding a gun which obviously fits with
the shooter genre. After this, to give it the look as though it is in a game I
will use photoshop to to give it a cartoon effect so it looks as though it is
in a game. The background to the main image will depend completely on which
picture I choose to take. For example if
a choose to do a picture surrounding the
racing game genre then it will be fitting to have the background as a road or
race track, however if it is for example a person with a gun then the
background may be woodlands or long grass.
Cover Lines/Puffs
For the cover lines or puffs I plan to take pictures of
things associated with gaming, for example I plan to take a picture of a PC and
a cover line such as ‘The best PC games this year’ also for others I will take
pictures of games consoles with cover lines such as ‘ An in depth review of the
Playstation 4’. I am also considering the idea of taking pictures of the actual
games with cover lines about them.
