Digital Distribution #1

Sports Illustrated makes people pay to view certain articles and also has people pay to put ads on their website. When technology came it out it was very difficult to bring in revenue from the newspapers because everyone turned to the internet because it was faster and much more accessible.  So now SI will bring in revenue through ads, which is a very common and popular way to get money. YouTubers get most of their money from that. They also put up a pay wall, so if I tried to bring read over 10 articles, I would have to subscribe in order to do so. This is another common way magazines will bring in revenue. The type of ads on their website will appeal to the audience that reads their articles, so a sports magazine such as SI will have ads about sports equipment and sports drinks.

We did this so that it looked aesthetically pleasing, as well as get people to want to read those articles...

For starters, I used Adobe In-Design and Adobe Photoshop for my pictures and to create my magazine overall. I was a beginner when I first started using those platforms; however, I am now skilled and I am confident in my abilities to use those software's. In addition, I also used my iPhone for the first set of pictures that I took, because I did not have a nicer camera than a 6s. After the first semester, I was disappointed in my product and I wanted knew pictures. I asked my teacher to borrow a very nice camera to take pictures at an upcoming boy's basketball game. He gave me a nice new Canon camera to use. I went to the game and took lots of pictures. The next day I took the memory card out, put it in the computer and began sifting through my pictures. I picked about ten pictures I thought would look good and that I believed were th...
