Digital Distribution Research 2

-

Flex Magazine has a partnership with Amazon where they are able to sell renewed-monthly subscriptions to the magazine off of the Amazon, either though print or kindle. This helps them reach new people that shop on amazon, as well as others interested in fitness that want to shop off of Amazon to look for cheaper items. The kindle option helps modernize the magazine to make it available to the growing "electronic focused population". The magazine is delivered monthly for a total of 35.99 and there's an option to try it free for 30 days. Flex's modern use of distribution utilizes the very popular online-store Amazon, which helps them to grow their profits.
There's also downloadable magazines, where one can download a magazine directly onto a phone or computer. This is convenient to people who don't have the time to read a magazine on their own, and where they can technically take it anywhere where they can take a phone.
Muscle Magazine would have a partnership with an online store so that they could sell their product to a wider audience.

Mid Term Magazine Submission Cover Production : I chose the title:  Muscle Magazine  to show readers that this magazine is about muscle, fitness, and health. The target audience this magazine is trying to interest is the average to intermediate gym-goer, and by having a simple name like  Muscle Magazine,  it best attracts that audience. I wanted the title, "Muscle Magazine" the be slightly covered by the person in the picture's head. I learned that this required Photoshop to do, which I had no experience in. Luckily, Aaron, a friend that sat near me, taught me how to make the picture slightly cover the title and then reinsert the picture into the magazine. He also taught me how to format the picture so it sat vertically, instead of horizontally, and I finished up by making that picture fit into the border. I had one universal font for the whole cover page, Haettenschweiler, because I felt this font invites more people to read the magazine over any

Locations: La Fitness Bee ridge: This location was too crowded to film at. The gym is always filled with people using the necessary equipment that we needed, and I didn't think it would be professional to have lots of people in the background of the pictures. La Fitness Southgate: After scouting this location I realized it was too open to do the shoot, I would have to walk around a lot and I needed somewhere that had more sense the 'gym' feeling. *Both La Fitness' were too bright for good pictures GrindFit Tamiami Trail: This location was perfect because it is a local gym that had the 'laid back' gym feel and it was empty during our whole shoot. The shots came out great because the lighting wasn't as bright, which complimented the flash photography
