Exercise 7 j

In terms of the layout of this paper, I would say it most resembles something that would be found in a magazine. In terms of layout, it looks very similar to some of the articles I would read in Vogue, Seventeen, Marie Claire or another magazine.  The layout of the paper with the pictures and excerpts from the article attract the reader and draws their attention to the article.  It helps a long article not seem so overwhelming and gives the article more direction.  The pictures draw the reader in visually and the reader can get an idea of what the article is about before actually investing time to read it.  If the paper was reformatted to look like a normal paper, while it would still be the same paper, I feel like it would lose much of its draw to readers because it would look too long and boring.  The pictures and large print excerpts make the paper more interesting and inviting.
