Cut to the chase



Need you opinions on my finished magazine project for my media A-Level

It consists of 4 pages.

All you need to do is go to www.freewebs.com/projecthelpammorpger



Better Explanation



Ok, so basically, i created this site so i can interact with the mass MMORPGers online. I need to do this for my A-Level Media coursework Project. The project is to create a new teenage magazine, but the subject is up to us. I chose MMORPG's, and what better subject to choose! However, I had to choose that there was the market for such a magazine, and I did that with my first poll, regarding players age. I got 60 results in a week, which gave me the go ahed with my project. Now ive done all of my research phase, i need to look at content, and who better to ask what players would want, than the players themselves.

Thats where you come in, you can help.



If you want to see what ive done so far, just look at my blog!

I will upload the magazine pages when i have completed the project.

    It's actually pretty good. I'd say it's a bit rough a couple of places, but you done a pretty good job making a Magazine there. Reminds me of the only mag I used to read, which was PCG.

    looks cool

    A few comments on your final front cover;  there's some typos in  it.

    - the gods and heroes part; you misspelled "it's "

    - wow gold part; you missspelled "where's "

    - flyff part; "abut"

    - the 150 balloon thingy; "envolop"?

    - the stunning graphics part; I think you should use " from THE new game"

     

    Also I would use a different font for the magazine name, something catchy and less "2D" standard font.

    Yes! i cant believe i made such silly errors! i cant spell at all! I'll get some ppl 2 proof read it for me

    As for the name font, i looked into it, but my research showed that magazines use plain 2d fronts!

    I know some of the online MMORPG magazines use different fonts.

    I felt it was justified as it was the same font thats used on the rest of the front cover aswell, plus all other REAL magazins in the shop, and i mean geaming too, use plain fonts, mostly white or black.

    Thanks though. I really appreciate your thoughts. Either it means i change something, or i think about how to justify what ive done.

    Overall pretty good but i have to say using words like leet is not a good idea as it will only appeal to alimited audience and as a magazine it should appeal to the brouder Gaming community. Also dont forget those who own the MMO's will want you to atract more people to this type of game and not everyone knows or likes LeeT language so dont use it if you can.

    You see magazines are about subsciber numbers. Subsciber numbers are about MONEY.

     

    Also hate to say this but Guildwars is not a MMORPG [at least according to its devs].

    Sorry but you are wrong. He has it done correctly. He would only have to use "an" if the next word was going to begin with a vowel.





    Anyway, I think you did a good job. I hope it all comes together for you.

    Only those that enjoy Life live it.

    Yup, i know all that. If you look at my website, you will see the project breef. I had to create a new teenage magazine that caters for a neich market which isnt catered for. In the real world, a company is morelikely to produce several new magazines at the same time to try and cater for different areas and subsections of the target audience, but in my case, I am deliberatly focusing on the neich.

    And also, its not the subscriptions that bring in the money directly, Its the advertisments. When a magazine can prove it has a neich market which is also large, then advertiseres will pay more money to get to the right market. Thats where the money is!

    As of regards to GuildWars, it dosent really matter! Its on MMORPG.com, so.... *shrugs*

    Thought so! lol

    Although, technically you should say "an House" but no one does, so it just got lost!

    Anyway, thank you for correcting those who were wrong! XD
