Print platform: Plan B

1) Identify the target audience (demographics/psychographics) for this magazine. How is that particular audience attracted?

i would say that the target audience is between 20 years of age onwards as hes trying to look formal and set some sort of example. They would be attracted to it as that age they know whats right and wrong and by having somesort of role model they can see that he looks good and looks well and would want to follow in those steps as from what he was before to now.


2) Does the article do more than just entertain? How? (Think of Uses and Gratifications theory)
 The article shows an image of Plan B in a suit looking smart. Hes telling his story of how he went through being over weight to now a good size that hes comfortable with. It gives those people who are not fit a chance tp read and see what someone went through and try and do the same.


3) Does this text allow the audience to participate/contribute? (E.g. leave comments) How is this different to the print version of the magazine?
It allows the audience to leave Facebook comments and give their opinions on things.


4) What codes/conventions of print interviews can you find in the article? 

I can see a few central images.The images are mainly medium shots and shows his top half his body onwards. He made sure that there are subheadings so that the audiences can keep engaged in the magazine and see what's happening.


5) How is narrative used to tell a story in each interview? Clue: what is it that keeps the reader interested in the article?

There are speeches of him talking and there are some talks about Ill Manors as that was his first film and would talk about it as there are fans out there that have seen the film and enjoyed it.There are subheadings which are there to keep the reader engaged and interested in the magazine.


6) What synergy can you find between this text and the broadcast examples we have studied?

Hes using Ill Manors as that's his film and needed to talk about something that was interesting and important to him. You can see a comparison in the text and in the interview.



1) Identify the target audience (demographics/psychographics) for this magazine. How is that particular audience attracted? 

This magazine is more for people who are more interested in what a celebrity does. So, this is a target for working class people who are interested in gossip or who like celebs. 


2) Does the article do more than just entertain? How? (Think of Uses and Gratifications theory)

The article does do more like it says and mentions a lot about what worries Ben Drew in life. By Ill Manors screening they want to be able to show that they care about kids as he does care about them. He tells people and shows people that he cares. He cares as they can do so much for themselves which is why he screened some people in a film.


3) Does this text allows the audience to participate/contribute? (E.g. leave comments) How is this different to the print version of the magazine?
They aren't really allowed to leave comments and stuff on their work. As they need to be able to read the magazine. The work needs to be able to show some work. 

4) What codes/conventions of print interviews can you find in the article? 


I can see a central image, title, tag line or speech form the article and can see some good use of colours being sued around. 

5) How is narrative used to tell a story in each interview? Clue: what is it that keeps the reader interested in the article?


It depends on what the audience is interested in hearing. If they want to hear and talk about the life in east London and how the government can help kids then they would read it.

6) What synergy can you find between this text and the broadcast examples we have studied?

There are some mixed work with the Tedx lecture as they are talking and hearing about the work that he saying. They are talking mainly about political views etc.



1) Identify the target audience (demographics/psychographics) for this magazine. How is that particular audience attracted?

The group that it mainly targets as a whole is ages between 20-35 years old. This is because the guardian is more of a newspaper that older people read and take interest in. This makes it different as tplan b isnt the type to target an audience like this.

2) Does the article do more than just entertain? How? (Think of Uses and Gratifications theory)

This article is more formal and helps inform them and keeps them updated about and around the world. It doers entertain in a way as they are talking about a hip-hop artist.


3) Does this text allow the audience to participate/contribute? (E.g. leave comments) How is this different to the print version of the magazine?


This is different as people can comment and participate in it.


4) What codes/conventions of print interviews can you find in the article? 

I can see that there is a tagline to show what's being done and said. 

5) How is narrative used to tell a story in each interview? Clue: what is it that keeps the reader interested in the article?

A narrative is being used in the story to show it as he can be seen in a good light to everyone else.



1) Identify the target audience (demographics/psychographics) for this magazine. How is that particular audience attracted?

The ages this targets is between 18-25 years old. As its a fresh type magazine that wouldn't interest older people than that age group. This would target upper class people as its something that is interesting to them.


2) Does the article do more than just entertain? How? (Think of Uses and Gratifications theory)

The article entertains alot more than be descriptive as its a magazine that is entertaining.


3) Does this text allow the audience to participate/contribute? (E.g. leave comments) How is this different to the print version of the magazine?

People can leave comments and participate.


4) What codes/conventions of print interviews can you find in the article? 

There are many features, like a tag-line, and talking about plan b alot


5) How is narrative used to tell a story in each interview? Clue: what is it that keeps the reader interested in the article?

The way plan B is working and talking hes sounding more educated in a way as he needs to target a upper class lot of people.
