Gaming Magazines Research

1. The main image on the front covers of gaming magazines is mostly the poster of the most popular / highest rated game that is out in the time of the magazine.
2. The average price of gaming magazines is from £2 to £5.
3.  Gaming magazines would sometimes have prizes in them such as demos, promotional codes, posters.
4. They normally have games reviews, news about games and debates and sometimes they also have a link that people could go to, to vote for what games they prefer. They also include things that would help people who read the magazines beat the game.

What Makes a Great Magazine?


  • Use of pictures: This means that the pictures have to be appropriate enough to be on the magazine, if the magazine is about fashion it means the pictures have to do with it, eg. Clothes, Jewelry, etc.
  • Colours: They have to have the right colours for their audience for example, pink for girls and blue for boys.
  • People: Use famous people to put in the magazine because people would be more interested in knowing about famous people rather than an unknown person.
  • Gifts: Have a gift for the audience, Demo CDs etc.

Ideas for my Film Website

 I would have the banner on the top which is going to be a scene from the film and the title next to it, and under the title I would have my tagline.
I would also have a scary background with blood and gore pictures from scenes in the film, the colours would be red and black.
I would sell merchandise like mugs, clothing etc, to make money.
I would make Facebook groups, make games, trailers, videos to attract audience.
