EVALUATION QUESTION 3: What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?



IPC also publish over 60 brands, these include NME, mbr, Now, Nuts and all the ones shown in the image below however doesn't distribute any R&B music magazine's. IPC is also a well known brand so this will put faith into my magazine, Bass Control should be distributed by IPC because it will give the magazine a far better status, probably an international status. All my artist's are mainstream so they can't really be on a magazine which is distributed by an indie publisher, this will also bring down reputation.





























My magazine is priced at RRP £3.95 and as it is a monthly issue you can buy a subscription for £3 per month this will save you 95p per month. That means it will save you £11.40 a year. Also because IPC are a very popular distributor they will have links with franchises such as WH SMITH, BP Petrol Station, Esso, Texaco, Sainsbury's, Tesco, Asda and Morrisons enabling my product to be sold by pretty much every major magazine selling company within the UK, which will increase both supply and demand for my product.

DPS Feedback

Feedback on my double page spread.



Usama Nadeem:Well done bro, your magazine double page spread looks very good, I like how you challenged certain conventions such as two images on your DPS and followed conventions by having the main image of your artist on the left hand side of your double page spread.

Marwa Salama:Is this what you have created Maneet? I can't believe it at all, no way can I believe it! It's really, really good. I just like how your magazine double page spread is laid out and it is very professional and before I had a problem with the size of your artist on the left as he was too small, but you have rectified it and now it's just really good!

Dawn Gallant:Bass Control, this is the name of your magazine. I like how you linked the logo for your magazine 'Bass C' on the double page spread. Before your space on the bottom right was empty, by putting in another image of your artist , using the angle of gaze I feel as if he is engaging with the audience, I really like it now.

Sana Khurshid:WOW, this is truly wicked, wow Maneet. I like it so, so, so much. I like your interview, it is very interesting, it isn't too long and snappy. It is written in a gripping way, so it's like you have to read it and with the colours to complement it, it isn't just amazing to look at it's wonderful to read as well. I also like your pull quotes, it is very engaging with me, I sat here on your double page spread for 15minutes, it literally is that good.

DPS and how it links to both my cover and contents page



How does my DPS link to both my cover and contents page?

First of all there is a clear link to the contents page because it is in correlation with the page number set.

The colour scheme for all 3 products abide the rule of four and all follow the same colour scheme of red, blue, black and white.

My artist's name 'Deep Meaning' are on all three products. This is to show that my artist is the centre of attention.

The magazine logo is on every single page, this is to show a link between my cover page, contents and DPS.

All 3 products are part of the same music genre (R&B) and look like they are all from the same magazine.

They all follow conventions, for example font styles and colour schemes.
Also the challenge of conventions on each page is here, for example the layout.

The background is white for the DPS, cover page and contents.

Throughout the magazine the name for each artist is in blue this is to follow the conventions for a fluent magazine.
