Creative Critical Reflection #4
How did you integrate technologies-software, hardware, and online- in this project?
I used many software's to make this magazine including, Adobe Indesign, Publisher, and Word. Many websites including Google, ESPN, and Sports Illustrated also helped me in my research into how to make the magazine and how normal sports magazines distribute there product as well as there layouts. The software's helped me to make the backgrounds pop and well as to make the titles and font exciting. Overall without these software's, hardware, and online websites my magazine would not be very good at all.

Creative Critical Reflection #3
How did your production skills develop throughout this project?
My production skills have increased a lot during this project. I have learned what is needed to have a successful product and how big of a role advertisement plays in that process. I have learned how to use many programs that i previously had no idea how to use such as indesign and publisher. I learned how to use photos to eliminate white space in articles, as well as how to properly use photos and words in a cover page. Lastly i learned how to take better pictures that can be used in magazines and or other articles.

Creative Critical Reflection #2
How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?
My product engages with audiences with it exiting pictures and vibrant colors as well as good stories about all teams throughout SouthWest Florida. Many of the readers will read this magazine just to keep up with the local teams and to see what is new in the sports world. The product will be distributed by trucks to many of the large scale retail stores including Target, Publix, Walmart, etc. Not only will we have in store sales but the magazine will be offered online for any people that are interested in subscribing and receiving weekly copies of the sports magazine.

Creative Critical Reflection #1
How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups?
My product uses conventions by having a exiting cover page which is proven by many of the other sports magazines to have a large impact on sales. The more exiting something looks the more eager people will be to want to buy and read the product. Also i use the footer in my magazine to put my magazine title just like ESPN and Sports Illustrated do to remind readers of what magazine they are reading and also to further their advertising. My magazine is not really representing any social groups as it is more of a local magazine and we didn't want politics to be involved.

distribution research
Not only did Sports Illustrated use this new method but also ESPN started to use the digital distribution to there advantage. ESPN has a website which offers all the information that the reader would need to sign up for their online magazine which is the same magazines as the hard copies just in a digital form. Many people prefer the digital form because it is on their phones or computers and are around them all day long. On lunch breaks or after work instead of having to carry around a magazine all day they can just log in on their phone a easily access the newest copies of the magazine. Overall digital distribution of magazines (especially sports magazines) have largely increased their sales and have had a positive impact on readers making it easier to read their favorite magazines.

target audience
The magazine that i am making falls under the sports category, the main audience of sports magazines are athletes, sports fans, and locals in the city that the magazine is talking about. The main way that other sport magazines target these people are, they use high schools or colleges in many of their stories which interest high school and college athletes as well as any of the locals of that team. Next each edition usually has a new main athlete which interests many of the sports fans because they tend to read the articles that are of their favorite players or teams. I will use these techniques to attract more people to read my magazine as well as target the normal audience of a sports magazine.

super bowl commercials
from the Superbowl commercials that we watched i realized how much advertisements on a large stage can effect the sales of that product. Companies spend tons of money for a feature in the Superbowl were they will only be aired for 30 seconds to a minute. They use comedy and exiting commercials to grab the audiences attention and show them what there brand is and why the viewers should buy their product. These commercials slowed down and really paid attention too made me realize how important that commercials and advertisement really are.

revision

| Old Cover |
 |
| New Cover |
On my original cover the text was difficult to read and the picture wasn't the best of quality. I Underlined my title to really exaggerate it as well as putting a new picture in, on top of that i changed the color of my font for the article names and made them much more visible for the readers.
