Music Magazine Evaluation Question 7

Music Magazine Evaluation Question 6

What have you learned about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

During the making of my music magazine, I used a wide range of different technologies.

The first piece of technology I used was the Mac computer, to do research for my magazine. I also used the Mac to create my magazine, by using software such as photoshop and fireworks. I realised that with these programmes, I could do alot of different things, which really helped me with my construction.

I also used the Fujifilm s2980 to take my photos with. I used a range of settings on the camera, to help me take the best photos.

I also used websites such as blogger, slide share, prezi and animoto, to show the proccess of making the magazine, and evidence for research. These were really good, as they all used different ways to present my work, making it more interesting to look at.

With out these technologies, I wouldnt have been able to make my magazine, or present my work in a suitable way.

Music Magazine Evaluation Question 3

I think that social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook would be really helpful while distributing the magazine. Due to the magazine being aimed at teenagers to people in their mid-twenties, there will be a large audience who will use these sites. This could help with the advertising of the magazine, and can also help the audience to become more involved with the magazine itself.

I also think that Bauer Media Group would be a good distributor. Bauer Media Group is currently the distributors of Q magazine, which is very close to the genre of my magazine, meaning that they would more likely be interested in mine. They are also well known distributors, and obviously already have experience with my genre, meaning they would be a great choice for the job. 


Money from my magazine could come from advertisments that would appear inside the magazine. These adverts will mostly be music related, but some could also be fashion etc.
My magazine would also be released monthly, like Q magazine, because when i did my research, i found that people rarely buy a music magazine. It would also go to many different stores such a supermarkets, music stores and newspaper agents. This is so it can be available from many different places fort he customers.
