Traditional magazine distribution

Image
The next step in my magazine is to find out a way to distribute my magazine. I researched into the traditional method of how magazines are distributed. Typically after magazines are produced the company hires a distribution company that will put there magazine in stores like Publix and others that have a wide selection of magazines. Most magazines will hire a company to do the distribution because they have a wide variety of retail stores that they can put your magazine in. Most of the time the companies will put the magazine in stores that have a large target audience for that magazine. The magazines are often distributed to bookstores, supermarkets, convenience stores and airports. Magazines are also sold in subscription based sales, people pay each month for the magazine to be shipped to there door. I think that it would be good for my magazine to pay a company to distribute my magazine because it will make the  magazine available to a wide variety of people. I need to find a co...

Project- Revision to the second page of the article

Image
This is the second page of my article and like the table of contents and first page I changed the background color of my page from light blue to white. I did this to help save money when I print my magazine. I also went and took a couple more photos to help fill some of the white space on this page. I decided that two pictures was a good amount for this final page and the picture I added was snook sitting in an underwater light. The snook are relevant to the article and help to give some diversity to the types of pictures I have. I also fixed some of the typos that I had in my article.

Project- revision to the first page of the article

Image
This is the first page of my article and like the table of contents I changed the background color from light blue to white. I did the to help save money when I print my magazine. I also increased the size of the picture to take up more room and fill some of the white space that was on the page. This will help my magazine be more attractive to readers and look more professional. I also fixed a couple typos that I found in my article.

Project- Revision to the table of contents

Image
The first thing that I changed in my background color. It was originally a light blue background but I changed it back to a white background. I did this because it would cost more money to print a blue background and I don't think the color would be worth the cost. I also made the pictures bigger to cover up some of the white space on the magazine and made them even. This will make my magazine look more professional and catch the readers attention.

Project- revision to the cover

Image
The first revision that I'm going to do to my magazine is fix the cover photo. There was nothing wrong with the photo its self, it was just out of proportion on the cover off the magazine. I am going to delete the picture and try to paste it back on the cover. I think that this change is very important to my magazine because it will look more professional and the cover of the magazine is the first thing people see.
