      Mock Game Magazine Layout

       These are some mock game magazine page layouts for a fake magazine I created called -------Codename: Digital



      This first layout is for the cover page,the last layout below is the back page.
      If you were to put the front and back covers together the character would fit together.



      I decided to incorporate a rating systems since this is commonly found in game magazines.
