Relationships between graphic design and Brazilian electronic games magazines of the 1990s

Abstract

This work aims to collect information about the Brazilian games magazines of the 1990s – a decade marked by the popularization of computers, which resulted in specific digital innovations from the design perspective. This exploratory-descriptive research has a qualitative approach, using bibliographic procedures in the data collection. Aspects such as the focus of the publishers, the readers’ profile and the graphic design applied to the magazines are questioned here. Thus, we present data on each of the aspects mentioned and we perform an evaluation on the characteristics of four Brazilian games magazines.
