Emery's Blog

  For my title post, I made my fonts bigger so they are more visible to readers. I also adjusted the picture of Conner in the bottom right corner so there is more of his body and less of the area behind him in the circle. I tried making the page more appealing and visible to the viewers. For my table of contents, I lined up the page numbers by adding more periods where it was needed. I also added a page number on the page because it was missing. I made the font size a little bigger so it's easier to see. I also adjusted the picture of the player more so the quality was better. For my two page article, i fixed the line up of the pictures as well as the article itself so they were both inline. I also added page numbers to both page because they were missing and I looked back in my flat plan to make sure they were correct.

We created an Instagram for Sota Sports Magazine to help distribute our magazine. Each different sport is talked about on the page to help catch different peoples interests. On the Instagram, there is a post about each main interview article in each magazine with a description and something to help interest them in the full magazine. As the Instagram grows, so will the magazines.

Another type of digital distribution is eboks. Ebooks are books read to you online. They require a subscription but any book you could think of is on them. They read articles, books, novels, etc. Many people prefer this over actual reading and it could help people with disabilities. There are many books about different athletes, sports, teams, and even magazines. Here are a couple ebooks about ESPN. 

Websites are used everyday because that is how people get their information now. On computers, smartphones, Ipads, etc. These are used everyday for peoples needs. Everything gets looked up on the internet. Many magazine companies have created not only apps, but websites as well because now almost everything is done on technology. ESPN has several websites for any sports needs someone may have. They have information on different teams, sports, players, stats, etc. They have plenty of videos, articles, pictures, and interviews of peoples favorite players. Technology is used more and more everyday and that is why websites are a big part in distribution. 

Apps are useful for distribution because of technology today. Recently, technology has been advancing everyday and has become apart of our everyday lives. Many people are on their phones everyday for many different reasons. Many different magazine companies have made apps for their magazines. They do monthly subscriptions that the readers pay for to be able to have access to the magazines. One example is ESPN. ESPN has made an app called ESPN+ that is available for smartphones and smart TV's. People are mostly reading things on their phone so this makes it so that they are able to read about the recent sports action and sometimes videos are available. 

For my two page article, I lined up my pictures so they would be even. I also changed the layout of my paragraphs. Lastly, I added page numbers to both pages that matched up with my flat plan pages.

For my table of contents, the first thing i did was line up my page numbers by adding more periods in between the title and page numbers. Then I went back to my flat plan and double checked with my page numbers to make sure that the page numbers I listed were correct. Lastly, I added page numbers that matched up with my flat plan pages.

For my title page revision, I lined up my side title to make the cut off of Conner's name go away. I also adjusted the picture of Conner in the right hand corner to make there be less head space and so the picture is more centered and more of his body is showing.

   For my magazine, I used these fonts because my group saw these looked best with our theme and colors. I liked the way i put things because it helps show the pictures well and the field on the title page goes well.
