Statement of intent – I found the news article I wanted to re-create. I took a photo of it on my phone. I want to add my own twist to it, I replaced the people and questions of the interview with a friend of mine and a celebrity, henry cavil. The article is local and the celebrity and friend is also local so it made a great match.

Media language – I started off by re-creating the page size dimensions. I then used the guide tool in photoshop and combined it with maths to get the exact same measurements as the article so I could do a perfect match. I liked the simplicity of the article and how easy it was to read for the consumer which resulted in me re-creating it. I used very similar font and text size to maintain a sense of consistency which ties in with the minimalism of the article. I had an image with 2 of my subjects in black and white to match the font, I also had a headline and textboxes.

Representation – The article I re-created was reactionary and countertype because it shows how celebrities and normal people can be the same. It could be countertype because some people may not expect a celebrity to like similar things compared to a typical person. But it is also reactionary because people can understand how they don’t like similar things and interests.

Audience – The type of people who would consume my product would be people who like news articles and locals who wants to know what’s happening in Jersey. Both genders will consume the product and mostly older people will consume it more than younger people.

Evaluation – Something I learned is that I should use Illustrator and InDesign next time if I were to do this again, I should also pick a real person, as finding questions for my project was very hard and time consuming.
