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

I think it most resembles a magazine article. Its pretty informative to be one, but it has pictures and would appeal to a variety of audiences interested in the evolvement of our society throughout time. It makes a lot of references to common pop culture, and it written somewhat freely to be anything more formal then a magazine, such as a documentary.

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

The appearance of the paper makes it seems very "readable to the average person". i think it seems like this because of the pictures first and foremost. not only are there pictures, but they are very familiar pictures to people who dont live under a rock. i think this causes the reader to judge it at first glance, and then reading it very "loosely".


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

I think this paper would lose alot of its effectiveness as a piece of literature. The format and design of the paper suits the subject of the paper very nicely due to the fact that it is written informally, its about informal society, and contains pictures of an informal nature. If this was to be turned into a college research paper, then it would lose this sense of parallelism, and probably end up being alittle bit on the boring side.
