1)
The type of magazine I have made is a gaming one with information on all of the new gaming news out such as the new PS4 controller design
2)
My target audience is mainly males that are of the ages 12-19 who like gaming
I have appealed to them by putting headings of big gaming news on the front cover, the font of the magazines font is not a serious style of font so it stands out to the audience and the background is of a big Orc which is from gaming which if people were to see they would wounder if they don't already play Warcraft what it is.
3)
The main image I have used is an Orc from the MMORPG game World of Warcraft, iv'e used it because most of the real gamers play on PC due to it being more advanced for gamers compared to an XBOX 360 will recognise and realise this is a gaming magazine and buy it.
4)
The only Photoshop skills I used for the front cover was to mkake the titles stand out, this invlolved double clicking on the text layer and customising their pattern and shadow etc
5)
What I like about my cover is the fact that it is not pixelated from wehen I have had to stretch out the pictures so that they are the correct size and also I like the style of text I used as I feel it suits this genre well and it also stands out to the audience.
6)
What I would improve about my front cover is what is shown on it for example I would of wanted to put more images on it and use a background that had a lot of stuff going on it it however I knew I diid not have enough time for get and design all of this so I had to slightly settle on what I could use.
