Market Segmentation

Demographic - Young professions/ students or graduates with disposable income  ( E.g. parents- pocket money) ages 18-30 with some Men who enjoy playing a few Video games due to it being a hobby.
Geographic - Not specific however the more developed and more worked on games in China or Japan do tend to be post poned coming to other countries like the Uk and America for a various amount of years which leads to people believing there is some sort of bias in a sense. However for a magazine I believe that the magazine would be released fairly.

The Design
The very weight of the magazine is quite heavy as I had to grip it harder than I usually would with a regular magazine that's pages are quite thin. this led me to believe that there is a lot of content inside of the magazine as it was heavy and sturdy and yes there was. Compared with other kids magazine the actual detail that I had to read and absorb was far greater than I expected which led me to really try and understand all of the key factors that are in the magazine.

The techniques used to create images
 The main image for the magazine is not drawn by hand but is taken from a scene during the borderlands game series where this character is first scene in the game. By doing this it allows readers to see the actual in game scenarios along with the graphics that the game has rather than showing a 5 minute trailer about the game and none of the footage is actually from the game which would miss lead the audience.

The Mast head doesn't scream at you
The title of the magazine 'Xbox world 360' is not Omni present but it is very noticeable at the front of the magazine as the it blends in with the initial design of the magazine. There are no colours that scream out at you that may cause confliction between different colours that don't go together but the way that the magazine is laid out along with the colour scheme allows the mast head's initial design to complement the rest of the magazine. The colours on the front cover are yellow orange and a hint of black, now the green complements the yellow as it allows the green to highlight important words allowing that to stand out to readers.
The front cover
There is a certain amount of confidence in the design of the front cover of the magazine as it is only really showing of one main game above all the others. Along with this even tho its using colours such as yellow and red which are known to be bright they are dull and not to bright which contrasts with the general idea of what those colours in peoples minds would look like.
