Magazine assignment

Magazine genres: Sport, gaming, history, science, biology, homes and gardens, food, tv.

My magazine genre: Video game journalism 

List of video game magazines: Official XBOX magazine, Edge Magazine, Official Playstation magazine, PC gamer, Games Master, Xbox World. 

Chosen magazine front covers:







From these 6 magazine front covers you can see there are big similarities first of all they are all dominated by one main game that is then surrounded by little bits of information about what else is in the magazine. As well as this theres the obvious similarities such as a barcode and the release date. They all use a striking image of the protagonist so that readers can instantly recognise what the magazine is covering in this issue. Also there is a price tag either on the bar code or somewhere else on the cover. In terms of differences first of all the games there mainly covering this mainly due to the dates they came out. Another difference is the way that there dates and prices are laid out some are in the bottom corner and others are at the top corner. Barcode is also a difference some magazines place them in the front most magazines place the barcode on the back.
