7.j What Difference Does Design Make?

1) What kind of writing does this paper most resemble - in terms of layout and design?

This papers layout looks the same as a newspaper or an informative paper would be layed out. It has a bold heading at the top of the paper, the words are carefully arranged in colums on the page, and there is usually a picture located in one of the columns with a caption under it.

2) How might the appearance (layout or design) of this paper influence the way an audience reads it?

The appearance of this paper affects the way an audience reads it in a major way. Since it has a lot of pictures many people might only skim over the words, and look at the pictures. Where if it were a formal paper with no pictures, people would have to read it more carefully.

3) How would the paper change if you removed the images and re-formatted it to look more like a typical college research paper?

In my opinion the paper would not be as interesting. It also wouldnt grab the reader as much. With its big bold titles and pictures, the article gets the readers attention and makes them want to read it. If it were formatted to look like a typical college research paper many people might think that it is boring, and not even want to read it in the first place.
