Article Planning Sheet

Out with the new and in with the old.

Article target audience: This is aimed at the same target as previously but this article more aims at some particular people in the target audience and that is people who are more interested in the background of fashion such as textiles students. The good thing about this article is that it will also be interesting and apply others if they are willing to try new fashions because this is all about old style fashion coming back in and where it came from.

	Planning Comments
article genre (purpose, type)	It is a informative and historical article about fashion. The article will show different styles that people can follow but it will also go in to the background of the fashion and were it came from. That’s why it will not just apply to people who have a genuine interest in fashion but also for people looking for a new look.
Narrative voice (1st, 2nd or 3rd person)	The article will be done in 3rd person. It’s not about personal experience and it also gives the article that bit more seriousness. I will only use 3rd person for the first part of the article, which is all about the history of the fashion. The second part of the article is about getting the audience to try the fashion out and telling them hw t do this I then might turn the article into 2nd person narration because it will make the audience feel that it applies more to them.
Register (informal/formal, colloquial, dialect, taboo words?)	I do want my magazine to be slightly more informal because I think that this will sit my type of target audience but with this article I will not make it as informal because it’s a more serious topic and I would like the audience to read t more seriously so they might take an interest. I will not make it to formal and might still add some taboo language in to make it more fun as well.
Stylistics (repetition, strong verbs, adjectives, alliteration, similes, metaphors, sentencing, rhythm)	This article will have slightly more stylistics in it such as repetition, this is to make the article seem slightly more complex if the audience do want a more sit down and read.
Tone of address (hectoring, sarcastic, ‘matey’, ironic, etc)	The article is there to inform the audience about a topic and to educate them. It’s going to be very straight to the point and objective. There’s going to be no wooing the audience into reading it, the facts will be there and its there choice if they seem interested or not and if they aren’t interested in the first factual half there is always the slightly more fun second half.
Structure and pace (discourse structure, logical paragraphing, connectives, conclusion)	The article will have a middle pace because I don’t want it two fast because I want a long read in my magazine to interest some more people making the target audience bigger. Also with my current target audience not being into big reads I wouldn’t want to bore them so ill keep it at a mid pace.
