5 - What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?


I would personally prefer a major institution to produce my magazine because they would have a lot more experience with magazines, for example how to advertise them and would have the money to advertise them (through TV, posters, radio), and they have the means of publishing more of my magazines, so it's possible for more readers to buy them.
I think a minor institution would probably want to publish my magazine more than a major institution because producing my magazine would be quite a risk, and major institutions, although having lots of money do not want to lose any. A minor institution on the other hand would be willing to gain whatever money they could.

7 - Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression of it to the full product?


Looking back at my preliminary task, I can see I've progressed a lot as the front cover and contents page look so blank and boring and very unappealing- the contents page is all over the place and has no clear structure. In my final product, there is a clear linear structure, no free space (as I filled it up with pictures) and the pictures are arranged well and not overlapping each other in an unappealing way (like the prelim contents page).

On the preliminary front cover, there is too much free space, no price, and the coverlines do not have any structure. I like one thing about my front cover, and that is the photo. As I explained in my blog on the Preliminary Task page, I edited the background from a dull grey to a sky blue colour, which would attract a reader because it's a cheerful colour and represents happiness. A bright colour for something like a college magazine is more likely to attract readers, unlike the colour black. The main colour should be appropriate for the genre.

From creating my Preliminary magazine, to my final product, I've learnt how to use free space up, what must be included on the front cover, for example price and barcode, and how to allign coverlines, so they look neat and all over the place in an unappealing way. I've also learnt that for a professional looking magazine, I have to use regular fonts that can be read very easily.




8 - On reflection, how successful do you think your product is? Will it actually succeed if it was launch on the market today?
