How does your media product represent particular social groups?

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

I would prefer BAUER Media to distribute my media product as it’s one of Europe’s largest publishing groups and offers a variety of magazines which I think is key for Elegance because I think it would be for a niche market. It already publishes fashion magazines like Grazia so there is a chance it would distribute mine to a big audience that Bauer products have. Bauer also has a range of advertisers for them so I could easily find beauty, fashion products that could link; also it is a big enough Media company to get more suitable advertisers. Another advantage of being published by them is the range of shops I would get it out to like WHSmiths, supermarkets, libraries and other smaller corner shops; it would have a wide distribution to get a larger audience. Finally working with Bauer would offer the chance to digitally distribute the magazines so if you aren’t selling it in physical form overseas people could still have a look at it.

Construction Schedule

December 2013- I spent time on planning my layout of each page, took pictures and created the front cover. January 2014- In the fist weeks of this month I spent working on my contents page and spent the second half of the month creating the feature article. February 2014- The last month of creating this magazine was me editing and tidying my finished products.

Original Idea Statement

My idea for this magazine is to create a multicultural art inspired magazine for young adult females interested in fashion and music. It will include interviews and profiles with breakthrough artists about what inspires their music. Finally, the fashion segments will include an eclectic mix of high end/high street clothing.
