Within my induction task my main aim was to inform an audience about my brothers views on how education works at Oxford university and his opinions on the university as a whole. I used a magazine called Beyond Education as a template to write this interview, this helped me to understand the kind of style to write in.
The kind of media language I used within my interview were drop caps, coloured font and a small picture, the reason I used these were to create elements of a real print product. I used a small picture because my interview is based on education, which is thought of as a more serious and studious topic to talk about. My use of graphical features such as drop caps are a way to grab the readers attention because they can be useful for adding personality and visual strength to my page.
My interview on my brother is intended to represent the countertype that youth do not particularly enjoy education, I have done this by showing my brothers interest and passion for his subjects within Oxford. This therefore means that my interview suggests a reactionary view, as the stereotype is being opposed.
The kind of company of magazines that would publish my article would be an education or school-based company, this is because my article is based around the life at Oxford university and the opinions of an insider.
In my article I think I did the presentation well because I feel that it does look like a magazine article. I also think I chose an interesting topic to write about. The things I would improve about my interview would probably be to write in more detail to give the audience a clearer understanding and I think I should have included more graphical features to encourage the audience to read it and have more of an interest.
