I created my media interview with the intent of showing how not all teenage girls are interested in smoking and getting drunk.  Also, to share Carolina’s (my friend) weird but fascinating love for pigeons which are usually viewed as feral birds that no one really cares about. She wanted to make more people aware of how nice these pigeons can be and why they should legalise them as pet due to the many benefits.

I followed the style model which was a magazine interview on the internet. By using red coloured writing for the title to make it stand out and put the opening line in bold to grab the reader’s attention as to what the article is about very similar to the style model to make the audience feel curious. The features I included which show it is a magazine are the hardlines, captions, three column layout and a picture. I structurally made my article using the inverted pyramid meaning that my first few paragraphs contained the most important and exciting details and then the tail of the article is just little bits of extra information that could have been cut off if it was too long.

My friend’s perspective on pigeons is quite radical and she is presented in this article as a countertype because a typical teenager is portrayed as trying to fit in and be cool whereas she doesn’t care how people view her and just wants to be happy and unique. The advantages of the product being radical is that it will draw more attention and people will be more likely to read it. Additionally, it is great evidence to remove the barriers of stereotyping all teenagers in the same way because we are all different and has a positive outlook.

I think the type of company that would make my product is somewhere like a British local kind of magazine as Carolina isn’t a celebrity so wouldn’t fit into a magazine for famous people, however her story is quite interesting so could maybe be shared with the rest of the UK or places where there are judgements about teen but also the view on pigeons. It would be aimed mainly at the older generation to give a radical response to the youths of today.

 To improve my product, I could have made the picture more inclusive of the article and use more media language like shapes and boxes to make it more interesting. Furthermore, I believe my print work would have been more appealing if I used bold Caps and italics with more freedom on how the words ar portrayed like wrapping the text around an image, so it flows better.
