(a) (a) This paper resembles the writing you would find in a magazine article. This is apparent in terms of the paper’s layout and design in several ways. One of the ways in which the paper is set up to resemble a magazine article is the use of its photographs and pictures. A second way in which the layout contributes to a magazine article resemblance is the use of double columns. Lastly, two other ways the design makes this look like a magazine article is repetition of the title on each page of the paper and having certain phrases from the paper enlarged and positioned throughout the paper.
(b)(b) The appearance of this paper influences the way an audience reads it because certain styling techniques makes the reader think they are reading less than they are. The double column spaces the paper by not having its audience read the paper from left to right continuously. The addition of enlarged phrases and photographs also adds to the appearance that there is less to read because these two designs take up space in the paper. The enlarged phrases also have the effect of allowing the reader to get a preview of what is to come in the paper and provide an interest for appealing parts of the paper.
(c) (c) If the images were removed from the paper and re-formatted to look more like a typical college paper, the paper would change by no longer looking like an article from a magazine and look more like a research paper. The paper would also probably not be appealing towards the younger Generaton Y audience it is intended for in its current format. The attention of younger audiences is captivated by images and less reading. The less they have to read to comprehend a concept, the more likely it will be that they read it.
