Work

I started to work on getting pictures for my magazine along with the research for my 2 page spread. This week I will work on transferring it onto joomag. I will also start working on the what I will write for the pages and what I will use for the rest of the contents of the magazine and also put them into joomag.

Feedback

Today I was given really good feedback. I was told that I could incorporate one of my topics with my main story and I think that I'll do that. Another bit that I was told I could do is for my two page spread where I can get a picture of someone playing the game and use that as one of the pictures.

For the front of the cover I want to make it something that looks like:
This is one of the most well known parts of Skyrim due to it being one of the first places you have to go so it will be highly recognizable to people that have played it before and the art style is pretty enough to entice people that haven't played or seen it before.

I got this image from: http://boydiesblog.blogspot.com/2013/12/the-elder-scrolls-skyrim.html

On the back I want to put the series iconic and recognizable symbol to bring the fans of the series more into it.

I started planning out my magazine after thinking about this for a long time. I'll start the cover which I will try to make on the front and cross over to the back side of the magazine. The front over will be the of the game Skyrim, which was recently re-released for next gen consoles with better graphics and all the dlc and the back will be of the symbol of the game series. I chose Skyrim because that game is universally popular among gamers and even the people who don't play video games. I'll make the double spread about the new version of Skyrim, I'll have an ad for the Nintendo Switch, a game console that was released recently. My other topics will be on games that came out recently and will be coming out later this year and news about some companies that make games such as Ubisoft and Bethesda.

Sorry for not uploading yesterday and Sunday. I was stuck and I didn't want to post if it was about nothing or just going to be something like "I dunno what to post so I'll just have this here." But after two days of thinking I have decided that the magazine's main story, which will be the two page spread, will be both about a game that came out in 2012 and its sequel, the ad will be about a new console, and some more topics that include other games and the music in those games. Also instead of focusing solely on only the new games that are coming out I think that I will make a page to pay tribute to some of the older games. Sort of like a page where I choose an older game, other than the classic/retro games, based on what people want for every issue.

Okay for the cover I think I'm going to look at and get inspiration from these magazines.

For the magazine I will make the cover story about a game that came out a few years ago that was re-released recently but there are two games, Dishonored and Skyrim, that I'm debating between doing because of their popularity. However I do know that one game is way more popular than the other so I might use that one because many more people know it and it did get many more positive reviews than the other.
