My Photos!
Now that I have
completed taking all my photos of the models for my magazine i need to decide
which ones I will be using and why.
I will also post some photos that will not be using because of certain reasons
such as quality and glitches within the photos and why I can't use them.
Models Permission!
Whilst taking
my photos I made sure that I got permission from all 5 of my models to take
photos of them that will be used within my magazine, therefore they will know
what I am using them for.

The Importance of Interactivity!
The Importance of Interactivity!
Interactivity is the way in which a magazine allows interaction between the magazine itself, the fans and the artists are being featured inside the magazine. Interactivity is very important for magazines and it has become much more vital to the process over the last few years.
Magazines have developed further into interactivity due to each having their own website published for the readers to view online. By having a website this offers a high extent of technology which can allow the magazine to share their information on the internet and this will also increase interactivity between the magazine and the readers. The technology being used today cooperates well to the development of interactivity such as being able to stream videos of interviews with artists or videos of gigs. Users can also download links to music, comment on sections where readers can talk to each other and allowing readers to submit their own review easily by having a review page on the website of the magazine.
Social media websites are another way in which magazines interact with the readers. Each magazine will have a link to different social media websites such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. These are websites that can give magazines the opportunity to interact with different readers due to fact readers who can instantly reply to the magazines. These websites can allow their fans to post gig photos and videos that they have took or recorded and post them instantly through the social media websites and they can tag the magazines name in the post them to allow any fans that search the magazine to see these posts too.
Social media is an excellent way to allow the readers of the magazine to express their own opinion about the magazine. For example, the editor of Kerrang! James McMahon tweeted asking the fans of the magazine about who they would like to see on the front cover of the new music special magazine. As well as this he also invited demos from new bands and applications from aspiring writers. This is a great example of how the music magazines allow their readers to keep their audience engaged in the magazine and it also illustrated how interactive the magazine and the readers are and this makes the readers think that they are involved in the decision making of the magazine.
