Emma's Magazine Project (with Pitch)

Emma Magazine project

Location: I will be taking all photos within or around college, and maybe some from home, but it is likely that most images will be used from the internet, using google images, so things like asking permission to take a photo isn't necessary, but I will however provide links from images I have used at the bottom of this post.
Contribution: I may need assistance with photos being taken for example if i'm to be in a shot, however I won't need assistance with photoshop, however i'm likely to ask friends opinions on the layout of my magazine and what would make it look better.

Costs: I will not require any payments for this assignment due to me owning anything needed or required, my props are all at home and are able to be brought in once a camera is borrowed.
equipment: my main usage of equipment would be borrowing a camera from the college, to take various images until I find one that would best suit my magazine, I will also be using images from google, and when necessary I will provide links to the images; I need a laptop/Mac with photoshop as that will be what I use to edit my images, add titles etc.

magazine research/questionnaire:

I asked 4 people to take my questionnaire and here are my results below the coloured dots indicate who chose what.






Magazine Pitch: 
initial idea:
My Magazine will include various gaming facts and statistics, all whilst following one particular game as the main source of information, so essentially gaming facts all bundled into one magazine with the focus on a particular game, which is likely to be red dead redemption 2, as i'm really enjoying this game, so I feel like making my magazine about this particular game would make it a better magazine as im passionate about the game so I will enjoy making this, not only that, the game is recently out, and its already breaking many records, and currently winning many awards, so its highly likely that choosing this game would likely make people more inclined to read the magazine, also its practically a new game, so this makes it new news as-well  and people may want to know more.
target audience:
I aim to make the magazine for all ages, unfortunately the games age rating is 18+ however that doesn't stop kids and teens from playing the game as its simply a warning, so with that in mind I will aim to make my magazine readable and not too complex so it appeals to a younger demographic, regardless this magazine is aimed more towards people in there twenties but I will try to accommodate for those who are allowed to play the game underaged.
Article Example: Red Dead 2's opening week of physical sales is more than double its first game that released back in 2010 the latest figures show in the UK alone, these statistics only include hard copies alone, and as your aware digital downloads are usually more popular and currently on the rise, so with that in mind its hard to comprehend the amount of sales already, despite its very strong start it didn't beat fifa's sales however it managed to beat black ops 4.
Final information:
My magazine will release every 2 months with the focus on a specific game which differs within each magazine released, so this month is red dead redemption 2, however in another two months it will be prioritising a different game, but because the focus is on red dead redemption I will use its art accordingly on the cover, whilst showcasing what magazine this is so people know its a bi monthly magazine, and due to its no frequent release I don't plan on making this a cheap purchase, I want my magazine to be roughly £6.99 I feel this is fair as originally stated it doesn't come out weekly so you could technically save up for it within 2 months.
