Evaluation Question 3

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

I feel that many big shops and supermarkets will distribute this magazine as it would be very successful. I have made them as closely linked to the magazines in the industry at this present time without copying them exactly as this is lillegal. This way i feel that i would make alot of sales as these magazines i have got ideas off of are very successful in their own unique way.

This magazine is meant to be a top quality music magazine which would easily be placed in stores and could sell very well like other big music magazines. I tried to make it as similar as possible to the other types without being a carbon copy. I gave it my own touches of inspiration which i thought gave it that extra edge ahead of other magazines on the market.



I feel that the magazine can be easily placed in stores and also can replace some magazines that are in the industry at this very moment.



The image i have used here is a very simple image of a friend. he is meant to represent the sterotypical musician. I have used him because i feel that he does represent that in some way. All music magazines have a main headline including a big picture of the person that it is about and this is what i have done in the magazine. The image is meant to show the reader what musicians ae like these days compared to what they have been percieved to be like a few years ago, where they were completely different, from the days of Elvis.




Magazines such as NME, Q and Kerrang would be classed in the same way as Replay, well that is what i am aiming for. I want them to be as close together as possible just like they are with eachother at this precise moment. This way they can be sold in the same way and the first music magazine that they think of would be Replay if it sells enough.



The print process of these magazines would be very similar to those that are in the market these days. This way the magazine can be of the same quality as big named brands and would sell in vast amounts. Then you will have to select a firm to join with. Magazine Publisher understands one of the most important decisions made by a publisher is selecting their printing partner. When creating a magazine, these 3 factors should be taken into account. Time-With deadlines, print schedules, and advertisers late submissions - days cut off the finishing cycle can make a great final impact. Money- Every pound saved on pre-press, printing, and mailing is profit in your corporate account. Quality- Magazine Publisher offers quality Newsstand style (Heat set web) magazine print options.



Then you will need to get a Print Rep. Your assigned Print Rep will contact or visit you introducing themselves and give you an overview of the press facilities.The Print Rep will become your one-on-one permanent sales contact and can service all your publication needs as your title evolves. After all of this you would follow the steps in evaluation question 6 and then you can produce your final music magazine.

The school magazine would very simply be distributed by schools for their pupils and parents.
