3. DESK TOP PUBLISHING (DTP) Journalist – I wrote the article and found out the facts for my article plus constructed interviews Photographer - I took all the photographs myself and chose the models ect. Sub-editor – I edited things myself Graphic designer – I chose the look of the magazine and what would go where Layout sub-editor – I had to layout my magazine in a professional way Proof reader – I had to re read my work to check it was up to professional standards During the making of my magazine I took the role of more than 6 roles which just shows how easy it is now to make a magazine if I was able to make one using just one person.
4. The roles I took the role of in the media industry are usually taken on by much more than one person. This just shows how the industry has changed over years. Now with the internet you can gain an audience online which means you don’t even need to publish your magazine on paper, it can be published online. In the past they had to use a typesetter to create a media product, now with DPT and the internet it is not needed. Billions lost their jobs, deadlines were shortened.
5. Today newspaper was the first Newspaper to be published in color This was all thanks to DTP. Now it is so much easier to make a magazine as I have proven myself. This means that in the professional magazine industry it is too. Less jobs are needed to produce media because of DTP. This meant that there were no means for using a typesetter and wasting so much time melting down the words to be reused (hot metal). This also means deadlines were shorter, because of DTP you Can create a professional looking media product in a few hours.
6. I have learnt that you don’t need a lot of people to create a professional looking magazine. I have also learnt how much easier it has become to create a magazine which would fit in, in a music store or newsagents. I have learnt that it is possible for one person to create a magazine given practise, time and the correct software. I have learnt how to use appropriate technology used in the industry and how to make a professional looking media product. I have also learnt how useful the internet is, it offers free tools to add to the look of a magazine and make it look even more professional.
