GOING THROUGH MAGAZINE COVERS

Hey, back to my blog after a really interesting and interactive session after a long time of online classes. We went through all the previous stuff we did and an overall revision of all of it. We learnt more about magazines and magazine covers in detail and were told to analyze a magazine along with its cover.

The magazine that I analyzed was a VOGUE magazine and here are the details I saw in it.

The following are those pages of the magazine that go with the cover line ie the cover story.
The cover story in the magazine has alot of photoshoot done on the main celebrity of the magazine who appears on the main cover photo too ie Britney Spears. She represents different kinds of trending fashion going on and in every photograph she depicts a flag somewhere for instance the colors of the flag blended in her scarf or wearing a badge of America's flag.

And lastly here is me making notes regarding this magazine's task and a picture of the notes too.

PUBLISHING HOUSE

The publishing house that I chose for my animal magazine would be DAWN. DAWN is a well known publishing house since its the oldest english language newspaper/ magazine in Pakistan. They usually have their spotlights on a variety of topics so in my opinion, they will feel no hesitation to publish my genre as well. Another reason of the less likely chances for DAWN to reject my magazine is the number of people with dogs as pets in our country is quite high, which means that the genre of my magazine will be proven beneficial for many people since it is highly representative.

PHOTOGRAPHY RULES

Photography rules and their information is as important as anything else in media. We discussed a number of rules that should be considered while we take a photo, and rules that we should knowing while taking our shots. Here are some of the shots I took and the rules that they belong to : DEPTH OF FIELD: 'Depth of field' is used for objects in the background and the foreground. It focuses on the main subject. LEADING LINES: 'Leading Lines' show the effect that the viewer is being dragged towards a specific subject and draw the viewers eye to a specific direction. NOSE ROOM: 'Nose Room' is the space between the subject in a photo and the next moving or still object being looked towards. HEAD ROOM: The 'Head Room' is the space between the subjects head and the top of the frame ie the space of the room.

DISTRIBUTION STRATEGY

As far as the distribution of my magazine is concerned, it will be made available in majorly all urban areas that are highly populated. These would be Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, and Multan in particular since statistics and research states that mostly dog owners are found in these urban areas. I will be selling my magazine's copies at a fair price in the number of 1000. These will be available at big shops and stalls where mostly the upper class, upper middle class, and the middle class people will have their reach.
