question 1

Question 7

The main difference between my practice magazine and my finished product is my finished product looks a lot more professional then the practice one. The reason I feel the finished product looks more professional is the first magazine has a very bad colour  usage and is not layed out very well. 3 techniques I used that I feel improved my work are the gradient background what made my background have a pattern combining 2 colours together. Another tool that helped was the editing text tool as it gave me the chance to make 'Blitz' to stand out. The colour correction tool also helped as it made the pictures stand out and appear visually better.
The tool that made 'Blitz' stand out works well as it makes sure the audience see that first and will make them to buy it if they like the artist.

Question 2 of the magazine evaluation

Question 3

The best company to try and get to buy the magazine would probably be Bauer media as they are the biggest magazine distributors in the world owning 25% of the market. If that didn’t work IPC media are there biggest competition owning 20% of the market. The way I feel my magazine could get sold by one of the biggest magazine distributors is that Grime is still quite a new music genre which is always growing in fans and as my magazine would be one of the only if not the only Grime magazines there is. So all the male youth that want to know about the latest Grime information would be interested and most of the audience in Grime would probably be interested in a magazine. It would benefit being part of a major distribution as they have great recognition, but I suppose one of the medium magazine distributors like BBC could help as they only own 7.8% of the magazine market, but they have other big media industries like TV and radio which could give free advertisement to a big audience. I think if we get a big company on side we could easily get it distributed to places like WH Smith’s and this would be easy if we can get some technology sales like if we opened an apple app and got people paying £2-£5 a month to download all of our magazines. The magazine probably needs work visually as it is not set out brilliantly like a big magazine, but as it may be the only Grime magazine around it could be a good target to get with one of the biggest distributors.

Question 6

I used photoshop to edit my photos and create my magazine. I used a lot of tools in photoshop which helped to make the appearance of the magazine look a lot better a very good one I used was a tool which allowed you to blend the natural skin to remove spots

 I used blogger as it allows you to create a free blog which is a good way to add your work and make it visible to other people.

 I used issuu to upload PDF files to which would then allow me to post them on to my blog.

I used prezi to make a presentation but what looked a lot better then basic slides on Microsoft powerpoint.
