Distribution of magazine




In the newsstand that I went to the masthead have been placed in different forms, some in front of the model or being also some have been placed in the corner or the centre of the magazine. Furthermore the newsstands have been structured to show at least the model and the title anything and the bottom didn’t seem to be important. It also seems to be organised in a certain manner where the rock is at the front, the pop in the middle and the hip hop RnB genre based magazines at the back. However they seem to have several copies of one magazine, which means if people don’t buy all of them then the shopkeeper would have to return it or throw it away which is waste of money. All masthead appear to be large sized, which stands out and is very eye catching, which will help sell magazines since it draws them in.
Some coverlines have different colours to the masthead which shows that the magazine label uses a variety of colours which again is eye catching to draw in attention. Also some coverlines appear to be in a different style for example the magazine with ozzy osbourne the coverlines are styled to facing in another angles rather than straight ahead instead it is facing to the left of the magazine.

Through research have discovered that XXL magazine distribute through varies way such as the common way through their magazines on a newsstand also through the internet making it more accessible for everyone. Furthermore, they have an app, so now it’s also available on your phone, much easier now since there is an app for it. They also have a YouTube channel at people can subscribe to making it more convenient for people to watch.
