Who would distribute it?

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

I think NME or Q would distribute this type of magazine, as the music they already promote some of the bands that have been advertised on my magazine. The publisher for NME is called Robert Tame, as they started off in the USA from the billboard suggests that they only promote the music which people have been voting for. They would distribute my magazine because of the layout I used, I think it represents a lot of bands and it’s very striking to look at. The colours I used would help attract a certain audience that would listen to a specific sort of music. For example, with the picture to the right, it doesn't have a lot of colour from what they normally have. This suggests that they don't really stick to one type of style when they are designing them.



i would want NME or Q to distribute my magazine, as i think they are both very popular magazines and since i would have not well known bands on my front cover then i think it would be a great opportunity to promote them. although NME only have main artists pictures on the front covers, they represent them on how they are, not what they want them to be. They also use a lot of colour in the majority of them. With the Florence front cover they use her hair as colour and only use black and white for the writing which focus's on her. In comparison to my magazine, i have decided to use the colour that the artist is wearing for the writing and it follows through in all of the magazine. They also promote other artists which i would do as well, whether they are well known or not. This magazine type is also for people who are older, e.g. 15+, since they use mature language in this magazine such as swearing, i wanted mine to be like that as well as the bands that i have used, like Coldplay use mature language. if older people are wanting to read this then they know what to expect. The advantages of NME or Q distributing my magazine, is that it would have more of a chance of becoming popular quicker than if you were to start a magazine of a brand of your own. It also stereotypes it as if a certain type of people read NME then they would possibly read a magazine that they are promoting too.
