Digital Distribution #2

The second magazine/website I researched was SLAM. It is a basketball magazine that also has a website. It has a paywall as well as many ads on their website to bring in revenue. The ads on the website were for the Army, sports drinks, and sports equipment. We would be able to utilize this for our website because since we are a sports magazine, it would be beneficial to do that for revenue. We could also have a paywall so that we could bring in revenue. We would use some of the money we have to put our magazine on other platforms, such as social media or popular sports accounts on social media, who would let us do so for a small amount of money.

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

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...
