Overview of what I have managed to do so far

So far I have managed to:

Design the front and back cover: I have done some Photoshopping for the front cover using various Nintendo characters. By doing this I have managed to draw attention to what is inside the magazine by looking at the cover. The only thing is that the font is boring and needs work, plus the back cover is a bit everywhere, so I will be going back over them. I do think the covers work though.

Introduction and contents: These sections are very basic, the introduction is only for introducing and talking a bit about what the magazine is about. I do want to edit the contents a bit to make shortcuts to the designated page.

Previews and Reviews: I have gone over several released games and reviewed them after completing them. Also I have done several previews of upcoming games, I only need to do more previews but I am going to wait due to E3 which is between 5th-7th June. I would have liked to video some games but I do not have the required equipment.

Hints and tips: I have done a section for hints and tips, this will help players who are stuck on current games, given on the amount of time left and needing to tidy up and do a layout on the magazine, I would have done some more games and bigger amounts of hints and tips but unfortunately I am one man doing a whole magazine.

Art gallery: I have got several of my art and placed it within the magazine. I am thinking of doing a slide screen of each image on two separate pages. This will increase the amount of different methods I have done to create the magazine.

Leaderboards and online section: This is where the fans will be getting involved. This will allow me and the fans to interact, have fun and also set up clans, making new friends is a good option too. The leaderboards are there for competitive players.

I have also done several screenshots of the games that are getting reviewed, previewed and the hints and tips section. I am also tempted to do multiple screenshots and turn the images into a scroll through which can show several screenshots in one space.

So far the magazine is coming along nicely, but quite a few edits is needed and alot needs to have been gone through so I better get started.
