Video Game Research Magazine Analysis

The genre of this magazine is video games. The text is blooded to emphasize the intensity of the game. The colors black and orange seem like they were focused on the male gender. The image shows a man holding a firearm that was probably made to attract the more mature male audience at least 18 plus.

This is another magazine in the genre of video gaming. The image in this magazine is split between 3 different games showing 3 different sub-genre of gaming.  Each image's colors are different, some bright and others dull. The target audience is young male players probably in their teens. the text doesn't seem that grand maybe because they want people to pay more attention to the image

The PlayStation magazine as stated by the name is for PlayStation video games. The cover image is of Mills Morales, a well-known superhero. The text seems to be following a pattern of black and red. The target audience seems to be children and young teenagers. Even though the colors are on the darker side I think that this magazine could be for both girls and boys because Spiderman is a universal hero.

The Masthead of this magazine is PC GAMER. The font type used is san serif. The colors gray, red, white, and yellow bring excitement to readers. The main image portrays soldiers preparing or going into battle. I think the target audience is boys 18 and older because of the use of images of guns and potential violence. The cover lines include other games that can be found throughout the magazine.

The masthead for this magazine is Games Master. The color scheme is very wide with many different colors. Maybe this was to create a sense of diversity. The main image shows a kid-friendly game paired with sub-images of more graphics games. This range of images leads me to believe that the target audience is on a wider scale, maybe 16-25 or older. The cover line includes the name of the sub-images games in a san serif font.

This magazine seems simpler than a usual game magazine. The masthead is PlayStation. The color scheme is very basic consisting only of red, black, and gold giving the magazine a more stylish vibe. The main image is a picture of a Spiderman in which he seems to be in a battle. The cover lines include other games that can be played on the PlayStation. There is also a flash promoting the next generation in PlayStation gaming with a picture of the PS5.
