Details:
To be more suited to the target audience, I built a visual identity inspired by gaming aesthetics which include: angular forms, cyberpunk influence, RGB-inspired colours, and bold typefaces. In an effort to get the correct tone, I conducted surveys and student interviews to have their insights on how they’re balancing gaming, academics, and hobbies. Through that, I discovered that students regard gaming with humour and amusement and use it to destress from mentally draining things in their life. I ensured that the content of the magazine would fit this view to be engaging to students who game. (Content includes RGB lights!)
