4250 Critical Creative Reflection

When I was in the production process I used the computer a lot, it was because of publisher which is a program that helps with the coping of pictures or any editing that need to be done, also you can use it for the typing part of the magazine like the tittle and any design that will be on the magazine. I also used my iPhone XS Max to take the pictures and to select how I wanted the pictures if with high quality lightning or studio light, there were many features that helped me with the pictures and making them the way I felt was going to look better. I also used Blogger which is a software part of google, it was useful as it was where I kept all of my work in oder, and I posted everything for the teacher to grade. I also used online resources to help me figure out ways to make a good magazine that everyone would love to have. All of this technologies helped me make an unit magazine.

When I first started the production of my magazine I was not good at computers or any programs with in the computer. After I started  making my magazine I started to use more programs and working better with my partner to come up with concept that could fit best for our  my magazine. Also I learn new tricks to make the production of my magazine easier. Using Blogger to upload all my blogs was really helpful. I also learned new ways to manipulate pictures and make them more credible for my magazine. Overall my production skills improved by at least 50%, all my hard work payed of. Me learning how o use different modes in my phone to manipulate the pictures giving them frame picking the lighting and other features like changing the color of the picture and cropping it to fit my purpose. All of this came along the way and I feel that my reduction skills improve and i learn so many new things to incorporate in any other projects.

The magazine has a Chrysler to give something else for  the viewer to be interested about, and this shows how the magazine is all about the middle class population because they include a Chrysler that is one of the most affordable cars for the middle class. I got this idea from the research i did on another car magazine that i saw.There is the two pictures that also give people a scene of what the magazine will be exploring the gray and white fated background gives it more of a futuristic view. The texted use was 27 which is big enough for the buyer to read it and enjoy what hes reading. For my marketing plan I will be creating a social media account showing my product ad the content of the magazine.Another way that could be marketed would be creating a TV add showing why you should subscribe and the features you will get once you are a proud subscriber.

My product uses many implication to relate with most middle class people with a good paying salary. The bright red Tesla in the cover is meant to imply that only people with sufficient money should buy it. I used conventional ideas from Popular Science and National Geographic and came up with the decision to place it at the top in bold  as it would be easier for the viewer to see it. I decided to go with this style  because it  is one of the best place to place your tittle and content for your viewer to notice it.. The feature articles were located at the bottom right corner with a white shade and a smaller font but still able to see it. The background of the magazine has a bright new Tesla that caches the audience attention. It compares to does that I research when I was firs coming up with the idea of my magazine cover. The magazine I research included bright and cool looking things hat catch you're attention so that is why I made my final decision in doing this with m...

For my distribution I will talk to a distribution agency and find the best one that will help me distribute my magazine throughout the country, like PDG Mags. They distribute the product throughout the country and you can track how your magazine is doing and show you key reports with the sales.

There will be an option of downloading the issue like National Geographic does in case you don't have any service.

Most magazine agencies focus on different areas of deliver.

My target audience are ages from 25 to 55 it is mainly for people around the world no specific income as everyone likes technologies. The target audience throughout the 129-year history of Popular Science magazine has traditionally been work age males. The advertisement the use shows the audience to which they are trying to communicate with.

Also i will be changing the main picture in my front article, and add one that includes the front of the car so that the reader will have a better view of what the car really looks like and how futuristic it looks.

 Another thing that i will work on is adding more info in my second article, or adding more pictures of Tesla, either option would mean that i would have to go back to Tesla to get another interview or take more pictures. This shows the before and after pictures of the second page of the article and how now there is no blank spaces left.

I will be revising the title as it does need an outline to make it stand out because it fades with the cover photo, so by doing this it will create a better looking magazine title.

Some of feedback I got was to fix some of the blank space left in second page of the article. The main picture in the front page of my article needs to be more of the car and show the front of it so that the reader will have a better look at the concept of the article. Give an outline on the Tittle so that the Magazine title will be easier to read and not blend with the cover because the magazine has a white and black background that makes the tittle blend in so the reader can't see some of it. And add some more pictures if in can on the Table of Content, or more explanations of what the articles will be about.

My title takes up the top of the page making it pop with the audience. The font was large and futuristic so it would stand out to the reader and would be easier for the viewer to see it. I pick this form because it is what most magazines that I looked at place their content and titles. The feature articles were located at the bottom right corner with a white shade and a smaller font but still able to see it so the title would stand out more in the viewers eyes. The background of the magazine has a bright new Tesla that caches the audience attention. The table of content has  a gray back ground with medium text size and the feature articles on the left side. The articles titles are bold and pop out like any other magazine, and the description of the article are located under with a smaller text size. On the right side there is pictures of the too main articles and are surounded by black borders that make them look neat and professional. In the article section i place the tittle ...
