DISTRIBUTED AS A REAL MEDIA TEXT?
DISTRIBUTION
Time Inc is my publishing company
The publisher should want to add my magazine because I will
offer exceptional stories as well as provide an organized and
appealing layout. The magazine will specifically be about sports
cars, and higher end cars. In some cases, it may consist of
average cars, but never low end automobiles.
What makes your magazine, different and stand-out. Why does the
market need your magazine. The market needs my magazine
because I will offer exceptional stories as well as provide an
organized and appealing layout. The magazine will specifically be
about sports cars, and higher end cars. In some cases, it may
consist of average cars, but never low end automobiles.
Monthly magazines generally work 3 months in advance so I need
to plan ahead when producing a magazine for print.

HOW DID YOUR PRODUCTION SKILLS
DEVELOP THROUGHOUT THIS PROJECT?
My production skills developed throughout this project. I was
able to utilize all the elements of Photoshop to create a realistic
cover.
A key moment to my magazine was coming up with the name
“SuperCharged” as my title. I feel that it made the image of the
brand more masculine and shaped how I designed the cover
and TOC.
At the beginning of the year, I had some experience with
Photoshop, but none with InDesign. I was very comfortable
using Photoshop to create my covers and such, but when it
came to InDesign I was hesitant.
My skills developed by using new fonts and unfamiliar ways
that make the font appear different than before. This made my
coverlines in my final draft appear different than the rough
drafts.

HOW DID YOU INTEGRATE TECHNOLOGIES –
SOFTWARE, HARDWARE AND ONLINE – IN THIS
PROJECT?
I used Photoshop and InDesign in this project. I used them to
create my Cover, TOC, and Two-Page Spread.
I used a Dell Desktop Computer
I used the text box tool, free transform tool, and the shape tool
most often in Photoshop
In InDesign I used the text box and shape tool most often
For my blog, I used edublogs.edu and for embedding my
PowerPoint I used Slide Share
