Distribution

 


Welcome back to my blog!

Today we're going to be going over the potential distribution of my magazine, since it is one of the  questions asked by the course. My magazine is a gaming magazine, meaning that it probably wouldn't be found in your run of the mill bookstore, meaning that avenues for distribution would probably involve stores that fill certain niches such as video game stores, large retailers, and online retailers. 

Many of the gaming magazines that I've seen have been distributed through video game shops like Gamestop and GAME in the UK, this is most likely where most of the copies would end up, considering its where most of my desired audience would go at some point or another.

Another potential avenue is online sales. Many game magazines offer either digital versions for sale or straight up sell the product through online retailers like Amazon, where it is then shipped to your home.

Large retailers like Walmart and the like are the melting pot of magazines. You can often find a large selection of many different kinds of magazines near the checkout isle, and more often than not people just overlook them rather than actually purchasing them. This leads me to believe that while a potential source of distribution, large retail chains and grocery stores will probably not be the most successful form of distribution.


Goodbye, and see you soon with another update!

Compulsory Question 4

 Welcome back to my blog! Today I will be answering compulsory question 4. Prezi Presentation:  https://prezi.com/p/-ovwsyoexlzb/?present=1 Prezi Video: https://prezi.com/v/y4em-lccoiy7/ Transcript   Hello, my name is David Martinez, my candidate number is 1421, my center number is US154, and today I will be answering compulsory question 4 for my AICE Media Studies Class.  Compulsory Question 4 asks, how did you integrate technologies - software, hardware, and online - in this project? To which I have to say, throughout this project, technology in the form of hardware, software, and online websites were heavily ingrained in the entire production of my magazine from the first blog to the entire final magazine. Without technology, I would have been unable to complete any of the tasks required of me. Software such as PhotoShop and the game Elden Ring helped me in the creation of my magazine. PhotoShop allowed me to edit and remove the background of the photos that I took, and the game Eld

Compulsory Question 3

 Welcome back to my blog! Today I will be answering Compulsory Question 3. Prezi Presentation:  https://prezi.com/p/vz7yt4yqhl6e/?present=1 Prezi Video: https://prezi.com/v/j_qaogdenhl0/ Transcript  Hello, my name is David Martinez, my candidate number is 1421, my center number is US154, and today I will be answering compulsory question 3 for my AICE Media Studies Class.  Compulsory question 3 asks, how did your production skills develop throughout this project?  To which I say, while developing my magazine, my skills especially in digital design have improved tremendously. This is obvious when comparing my submissions for the preliminary task compared to the submissions for my final magazine. I have improved my ability to use software such as PhotoShop to edit my photos, and Canva to compose my designs into a working item.  The preliminary task allowed me to dip my feet into the world of magazine creation. I had to gather pictures relevant to the topic, edit them, and then make sure t

Compulsory Question 1

  Welcome back to my blog! Today I will be answering Compulsory Question 1. Prezi Presentation Link:  https://prezi.com/p/rk-9blvh5bca/?present=1 Prezi Video Link:  https://prezi.com/v/gltauyjihsvn/ Transcript     Hello everyone, my name is David Martinez, my candidate number is 1421, my center number is US154, and today I will be answering compulsory question 1 for my AICE Media Studies Class.  Compulsory question 1 asks, how does your product use or challenge social conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues? My answer to that is, my magazine is in line with the guidelines of a standard magazine, which include a masthead, tag line, cover image, barcode, cover lines, an issue number, and a date. To gain an idea of how these principles are applied by real magazine publishers, I used PCGamer and GAME as an inspiration. So, let's look at my cover page conventions. When looking at the cover of my magazine, the first thing you notice is the masthead, which is written
