Question 6
What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

Throughout constructing this product I have managed to utilise many different technologies. I have used programmes such as, InDesign to put my page together, Photoshop to create different components to include on my music magazine.
InDesign allowed me to create my magazine, to make it look professional and ordered. I have learnt that you can make a very specific colour scheme, by using the colour picker, and using that to create effects on pictures, shaped and type. Photoshop allowed me to create a sticker, to attract the importance of the interview, and my masthead and logo, to add in the colours to the font.
I have also progressed in the picture taking and editing, as you have to use professional settings, and the correct lighting to create the desired look of the images used in my magazine, also to uploading and formatting the photos on different programmes to create the desired effects.
Using these programmes allowed my outcome to be professional and clean cut, as it allowed me to add effects to add interest on many different components.
This has not only allowed me to see how the technologies are used throughout the magazine industry, and consider them in my work, but also to see the importance of these technologies. 
In the magazine industry the use of the high tech programmes, allow the companies to create their pages fast, accurately and produce many different variations with ease. This allows the creating of the magazines to be done much more professionally and can meet short deadlines, without having to compromise on the preference or briefs, as the pages are easily tweaked, and can create many variations and make a preferred judgement, to the best outcome for the magazine.

Question 3
What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

Referring back to my IPC case study, I feel that IPC is a relevant company for my music magazine. This is because IPC produce over 60 iconic media brands, with print alone, which is the way that I want to publish my music magazine in print. IPC bring in a total of 26 million UK adults, which is very helpful, seeming as my music magazine will be basing its topics about the UK top 40 playlist and celebrities.
IPC’S diverse print and digital portfolio offers something for everyone, which is perfect for concentrating on the huge strong audience of mainstream music, which is what IPC is most likely to publish.
IPC would be a very appropriate publisher for a new music magazine, the main reason is because they are a well-known, reliable corporation, and are easy to lean on because they have already been successful in the past, and are practised in the industry, allowing me to be a part of a strong competitor providing me with the existing  connections that include celebrities/bands, and advertising companies,  that can be in my magazine to make it look popular and well known attracting the needed audience to buy the magazine.
