Activity Three
3. What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
I think that IPC would be a suitable distribution company for my magazine, this is because it is responsable for distributing over sixty other media products. I think that this would be appropriate because they distribute so many other things to different target markets including fashion magazines for example 'LOOK' which relates to my magazine because it is fashion inspired and they would have a target market for this. I think there would be a space in the market for my magazine but it would sell well along side magazine like 'NME' which IPC also distribute because it is targeted at around the same audiance of teenagers and young adults however it is not exactly the same genre therefore there would be no competition agaisnt any of the other magazines that they distribute.
Activity Six
I have leanrt a lot about using new technologies in this course. The main programs i used are blogger, photoshop and microsoft word. Other ones i have used are displayed here in my animoto. Each different technolgy helped me in a different way to complete this project.
I learnt how to firstly use blogger which helped me do my research because I had somewhere to put it straight away and it also helped with organising the work I was doing, I also learnt how to use Scribd which is a program that lets me upload on to my blog, this was vey useful and is easy to use. Animoto is another program I learnt to use which is a good way of presenting ideas.
Photoshop was the main one i used to complete my magazine, i found this difficult to work at first but once i had figured it out it was better and a lot of help it let me edit and change my pictures and text i used in my magazine. It helped me to get my magazine the way i wanted it to look. I think this is definatly a good program to know how to use.

Photos for my magazine.
I like this picture for maybe one of the smaller pictures on my double page spread as hopefuly it can bring across the personality of the person and also my magazine. I also really lik he outfit in this picture.
I particually like this style of picture for my double page spread as a few people from my feedback said that they thought the double page spread picture was one of the better ones.
This is also a good close up picture to have to put as one of the smaller pictures on my double page spread.
I like the face pose in this picture and think that it will attract the audiences attention because she is looking straight into the camera with quite a stern facial expression.
These four pictures above are the style i like for my double page spread, i like that they worked well on my draft and i want to do ths again, this is why i have taken a few different images to have a look at what looks best.
I like this picture above for the double page spread and i also want to make sure that i include all of the outfits i have used in my magazine.
These are more of the styles for my contents page, i hope that in my selection of these ones i will be able to pick the best and use it liek in my draft but hopefully make it stand out abit more.
I also really like this and the picture below for my double page spread, i like the style of it.
These are my pictures for my magazine i am making, i have retaken my pictures having my feedback into account. I particullary like the longshot pictures for the double page spread and i would still like to use the same style photo as on my draft for the cover and the contents.I have picked these outfits on purpose to go with the style of my mgazine and hopefully they will work well with my pastel theme colour. I also prefer my models hair on these pictures compared to the ones that were on my draft. I have taken more pictures for this lot of test shots because i wanted more of a variety to choose from, i also think that these pictures are of a slightly better quality than my other ones.
