Question 6
What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
I have learnt a lot since i started this course.
PhotoShop: Before this task i didn't have a clue how to use photoshop. I felt intimidated by it. When i first used it i was in such a confused state but after that first lesson i have loved working with Photoshop. It has made me able to change the effects on my images which without them, the magazine wouldn't have the same effect. However i found it difficult to cut out an image from a background but with practise i soon found it easier.
Blogger: I was very excited to start using blogger as it is always something that i have found interesting but never got round to doing it. As soon as i started to use blogger i became attached. Since then i have started my own blog about fashion and beauty. I think the idea of a blog, that is interactive on the internet is a perfect idea to use for coursework as its all together in one space.
Question 3
What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

I would use WWMD to distribute my media product because i feel that this institution would be able to offer me platform to boost my magazine sales. I have done in depth research into this company and i have found that there is a gap in their company for an urban magazine.
On their website i was looking around to find out information on what their customers thought:
"We have used WWMD for a number of years and have a great working relationship with them. We very rarely come across any problems and if on a rare occasion we do, they are very swift at finding a solution." - Tim Cole - Commercial Writer
Market Trade News
This gives me great confidence in the company that i would be happy to work with them and have my magazine up to the standard that i want it to meet.
The service that WWMD would offer to me, as a publisher, would include:
- Collecting magazines from printers where necessary
- Packing and distributing magazines
- Invoicing and credit control to retail
- Supplying sales reports and information via industry standard data transfer
- ABC Compliance
