JOURNALISM 2 - TASK 1B


Proposal.

Slides/Sliders are slippers (branded or unbranded) that are worn by many types of people for very different occasions and I want to write an article about sliders called ‘ Slip n Slide’ explaining their journey to fame showing how much of a great fashionable accessory they have become. I decided the name as we slip on sliders and as they are about slides I wanted to include the name in them. An idea I had was to also talk about how and why trends change and how they affect income of residents in east London with youths. Slides are worn by people all ages but the main group of people who wear slides are youths across the whole world. Because of this, my target audience will be youths specifically youths in East London (Male and female). The purpose of this article is to inform the audience more about sliders to their benefit and also give them tips on how and where they can wear them to.

My article would be published in a double paged spread of an E-zine given that my target audience are youths who use online methods such as websites and social media a lot of more than traditional methods such as magazines and newspapers to read information. As youths use a lot of social media, I would also like to publish my second article on social media as an extended article in a way that the audience can interact with my article so it appeals to them. My double page spread would include information about the history of sliders and how they have become more popular. I would have images pf the different types of ways sliders are worn and articles about celebrities wearing sliders.

As my article are target to both genders I want to split the pages and have one page for females and the other for males with tips for both genders. As most sliders are branded, I also want to talk about the different brands. On my online article I want to do an extended article about the first which would  include a survey asking my audience about their sliders such as how many pairs of sliders they own, what brands are they, how much they spend on sliders etc. to show how much of an impact sliders have on the youth.

I intend on covering the whole spread with information as well as images. I want to include images of sliders that I will take myself of me and other people modelling them with outfits and include this in my tips section. I may also include this on the online article so that my readers that may not read this via e-zine can also see this online giving them another online activity to take part in. I want to put my article on social media Snapchat specifically as it is the most popular social media app used by youths so publishing my article on here would get more attention and have a larger audience base.

As I am putting this on snapchat, my article would only be available for the audience to see for 24 hours only whereas, my double page spread from a e-zine would be around for much longer due to it being available through an app which could be saved.

Resources available to me would be a camera to take photos with and also InDesign for me to edit my images and build up my double page spread. I would have to bring in sliders of my own for this shoot or ask my models to bring in their own for the shoot and other outfits to change in for the tips section. The photoshoots that I am planning for images in my article would take place in the photography studio and also outside when showing the audience tips for different outfits. I will have two models that are male and female to model for both genders.
