WRITE: Answer the “Know Your Publication” Questions we looked at in class for the hypothetical publication YOU would like to publish in.
- What kinds of articles/ stories/ media (and ads and videos for that matter) are on that site?
– There will be art pieces and artifacts featured, that have a background to The Met, as well as maybe a piece and a story of how it traveled to The Met, a story of an artifact being found and then returned.
- What does that tell you about who they think their audience is? How do you draw that conclusion?
– Since there is visualization, my main audience are artists. Artists love looking at art and getting inspiration, and also learn their best with visualization, so something written down or a imagie are the best options.
- How long are the pieces usually? (pages, words, minutes)?
– There can be a maximum of 3 pages including a feature on the magazine page and then 2 pages within the magazine.
- What is the tone, usually? (funny, serious, casual)
– The tone is fun and serious, educational and interesting.
- What kind of diction is usually used? (casual, formal, academic, etc.)
– Formal and academic diction.
- How do they usually use evidence/ support (such as data, quotations, interviews, etc)?
– There is gonna be credit given to artists and their work as well as credit from where the stories are coming from.
- What can you tell us about their visual presentation? Is it all black and white text? Video with lots of graphics?
– It will be very colorful and full of light while staying modern and not cheesy.
- Do you think this would be a good publication or forum to reach your intended audience? Why or why not?
– Yes this is a great way since my audience can carry with them at all times, while riding the subway while on vacation, cut out and create collages and just save for many years.
