NEA Statement of intent

My magazine will be and educational magazine that will be aimed at 10 – 13 year olds.

My magazine will be aimed for people who are new to the Pokemon TCG, or for people who want to re-familiarise themselves with the rules. I would say that it is for a niche audience because the Pokemon games and anime (Show) are more popular than the TCG. The magazine will include a detailed step by step tutorial on how to play the card game alongside pictures of the card so that people can follow it more easily. This will also accompany people who learn in different ways such as visual learners. My magazine will be called 'Professor Blackthorn (Prunus Spinosa) - TCG'. Blackthorn trees grow in the UK and Pokemon professor names are based on trees such as Oak (Quercus), ‘Juniper (Juniperus Genus)’ and ‘Sycamore (Acer Pseudoplatanus)’. This will be a nice nod to the Pokemon...

NEA Part 6 - Product Style Profile

Image
In this task i will be planning and creating sketches that should reflect or help me on what i would do in my real magazine. I believe sketching is important because it will help visualise my 'final' product, this will help me improve my work. Corey Law: I like the third one. Andrew Quirke : I prefer the third one. Priyan Rathinraj: I prefer the third one because it has pictures of what the cards are. From my research i can see that people like the third one the most because it has more information and is more developed. This went along with my predictions that the most interactive one and the one that provided to most information would be the most popular.
