Exercise 7j

1.) In terms of layout and design, the paper most resembles a magazine article. This is due mainly to the text style of the title and the various pictures throughout the paper. Also the columns of writing give it a magazine-like feel.

2.) The layout of the paper influenced the way I personally read it a lot. The columns and pictures made it more ascetically appealing and made it an easier read. Also the pictures got me to think about the era more in depth as opposed to just seeing text. It also gave the paper more of a feel of authority, mainly due to it looking more professional.

3.) If the paper was reformatted to resemble a college research paper, it would lose a lot of it's appeal. I wouldn't be as nearly as interested in the paper if it lacked images and if the columns were taken away it would be much harder for me to stay focused.
