Research and planning- Evaluation question 6 part 1 What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

This is the Photo shop software that I used to create my full magazine cover page, contents page, double page spread. I first didn't know how to use this but then I got a practise and carried on using it until I finished everything.
This is the I mac computer that I have used for my music magazine, I used this to research different types of magazine for my pop music magazine to use as a guidance. The i mac computer has everything that i used such as the photo shop, i photo, in- design etc.
This is the Flickr website that I have used to do one of my evaluation question which was question 3, this was to talk about which institution might distribute my pop music magazine. But before you do everything you must sign up first with your email and your password.
This is Blogger website that I used to put all the work I have done such as the progression of the pop music magazine, also all my other work like the college magazine and research and plannings for the pop music magazine that I have created.
This is the SLR camera that I have used to take all the photographs of my model for the pop music magazine, I can do the zooming and movement of the camera myself but I can also leave it on auto focus and let it do the job.
This is the Prezi website that I have done for evaluation question 5 talking about how I attracted the target audience. Also for this you would have to sign in with your username and password, then upload all the magazine pages and talk about the layout, text, font styles etc.

Research and planning- Evaluation question 5 How did you attract/address your audience?





Research and planning- Evaluation question 4 Who would be the audience for your media product? Why?

 
This is question four from the evaluation, this is all about the target audience that I have took a shot of. My target audience is female teenagers who are similar to her and like everything of pop, therefore I have dressed her as a pop look a like and wrote everything that she likes.

Research and planning-Evaluation question 3 What kind of media institution might distribute your product? Why?

Magazine cover
The role of the magazine distribution
Firstly you need to know who you are targeting and how you will be able to target them, then you need to advertise your magazine with the distributors help to find where you will be able to reach your target audience. The magazine distributor needs to place the magazine in a visible place where it can be accessed by the target audience, then your magazine is marketed into different shops and to be sold for people to buy and read.
contents page
I am going to get my magazine distributed by Motto because they distribute it worlwide and they are private as this is the pop magazine distribution company.They could help me to distribute my magazine in different countries, online stores, airport terminals, and superstores in order to attract a wider range of audience and get to the specific target audience. Also this is a wide known company as many people know about it, and this will get more people to buy my magazine. a pop magazine costs at least £2.20 to distribute. Some of the magazines that get distributed this way are the Top of the pops magazine, Top gear, Radio times. Moreover, it has a circulation of 105025.
double page spread
Some shops that will take pop magazines are:
  • Newsagents
  • Morrisons
  • Asda
  • Supermarkets
