What media institution might publish your media product and why?



There may be several media institutions which would be suitable and capable of publishing my media product, however, the most suitable in my eyes would be a multinational multimedia company such as "Bauer Media Group" which deals with music magazines such as 'Kerrang' and 'Q' giving it the instant experience within publishing magazines of the music orientation.

The reason I have claimed that the publisher would most suitably be of the multinational kind was because the Genre of music promoted (Rap/HipHop) within the magazine is a genre that is admired by social groups on worldwide scale and therefore should not be targeted at a single demographic/Geo-demographic.



The reason I have claimed that the publisher would most suitably be of the multimedia orientation was because due to the evolution of technology since the prime of magazine popularity, there has been a clear decline in the sales of magazines as it is possible to read magazines from the comfort of your own computer chair in front of the screen you use for almost everything in this day and age. Therefore, the magazine should be distributed on most media based platforms such as being able to receive an RSS of the magazines articles and being able to access a website in which offers an e-magazine containing the same features as the physical copy.

Looking back at the preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

Quote from teacher: "Good artist's borrow, great artists steal."


This quote played a key role in the outcome of my finished product.


Having prior knowledge of the Design software which we were designated to use (Adobe Photoshop CS3), it was a fairly simple task to execute the ideas floating around in my head, however, it was the innovation that was a problem. Above you can see something my teacher said to me, and by using this, I was able to come up with what was to be my finished product. I have learned that by manipulating the ideas of several artist's/designers etc, essentially by combining an extract from each piece of work, you can create what could potentially be a 'better' piece of work than that of which you sampled it from. A 'Super design' if you will.
