PC Gamer-
Age: 12-25
Economic Range: C, D, E
Audience: Men
Masthead:
Displays the name of the magazine in bold, red and black as the iconic logo, though it doesn't take the top spot, the "free DLC" advert trying to draw people more than just the name of the magazine alone.
Main Image:
A Counter Terrorist holding a gun, his gaze not on the audience, but looking "off screen" in an attempt to draw the readers attention to find out what he's looking at and what he's doing. The image is gritty, and follows the games art style, as a small representation of what it might be like.
Coverlines:
Pop out to the target audience, with things like "E-sports gone wrong!" that instinctively makes people want to read it to see what people did wrong. "Secrets of Simcity" works similarly, since most people are interested in secrets, even if they're fictional/meaningless to them.
Main Coverline:
Rather than using a proper method alluding to an article, they say something inherently interesting to draw the reader in. Call of Duty is a big name brand, that most households and people know about, especially the gaming community, so "Shot at the crown" is a very powerful statement to be throwing around, especially since a lot of gamers will know the name.
