1.) What kind of writing does this paper most resemble - in terms of layout and design?
My immediate reaction to the writing style of this paper was informative and I felt that it belonged in an entertainment magazing or newspaper. The subject matter screams young adult, and I could easily see it being read across a college campus. The addition of pictures and subjecct headings, as well as the font style, makes the paper seem like a more legitimate source and something to read if the reader has some down time.
2.) How might the apperance of this paper influence the way an audience reads it?
Because it's formatted with columns and includes pictures and larger text at some points, the reader is intrigued to read on and see what is to come. The columns also makes the reader that it is a quicker read, when in reality it's still 5 pages or so. Another plus to the use of pictures is that they allow the reader to take a breather from the text every once in a while to examine the images.
3.) How would the paper change if you removed the images and re-formatted it to look more like a typical college research paper?
It would lose all the hooking appeals I mentioned earlier and the reader would immediately realize that they were reading a formal paper for a class and pre-judge it to be boring and unoriginal. The formatting of this paper has an advantage over the standard college paper feel because it gives off a more casual and interesting vibe.
