Joomag or Lucid Press

Currently I am inbetween using joomag and lucidpress. Although I have already started on joomag, I find it much easier to use lucid press as everything is much more simpler. However, I am currently wrapping up my project and the final product will be released soon. Almost done! :D

Pictures I may include

Here are some of the pictures I will be using in my magazine. A majority of them consist of head shots and focusing on the controller. Some establish the environment and capture what is on the TV.

Cover line options:

Video Games as a spectator sport
Recap of EVO: How Leffen Won
Why your main sucks

Adding *flare* to my magazine

As most magazines stand out to their target audience, I plan to do the same by including a large mast head of the title of my magazine. More vibrant colors will be displayed at the top of the magazine whereas at the bottom, the colors will not be as bright. By doing so, I hope to attract video game enthusiasts will the happiness of video games that will be displayed through the bright, happy colors.

Layout of my joomag

For the layout of my joomag, or my magazine template, I plan to name my magazine VG Insight. The cover image will include fan art of the SSBM front cover, similar to this one. Each subheading will also be similar to the front cover of SSBM as shown above.

The table of contents will be in rows like so:
image ___
___image
image___

The images shown will most likely be more fan art of iconic characters in video games. Characters such as mario, sonic, or megaman.

Lastly the layout of my two page spread will include a image on the right side of a friendly tournaments as shown in my last blog posting. The text will be on the left side of the page including key points. The title of the article will be on the top of the left side of the page saying "Video Games as a spectator sport."
