The document discusses the process of researching and drafting two digital articles on the topic of grime music for different target audiences. The author conducted research on existing grime articles to understand how to structure their own articles, including the positioning of text, images, and videos. They received feedback on early drafts from peers and teachers and made revisions to improve the formatting, fonts, images, and tone based on the target audience. Through iterative drafting and research, the author was able to create two polished articles that were appropriately tailored for teenagers and adults while informing and entertaining readers about grime.

2. My digital publications have been very useful as the research helped. I got a backdrop on what
Grime is about. I also learnt how to alter my target audience for different articles. The research
helped me decide on final drafts and how I should organise my article. Research was very
important as it made me aware of not what to include, also facts and statistics helped me gain
a idea of what is used regularly in a article. Researching was not the hardest thing to do but it
gave me a good look on how to structure my articles to different target audiences such as
teenagers and adults. Real digitally published products helped me have a understanding how
many articles are structured very well, some articles I came across had images and text, some
had more images and videos showcasing Grime and the growth of the genre. I found this
interesting as I could add content but I could switch it up with my own primary sources and
own written text. I came across real digitally products such as Noisey and radarradio which are
popular websites which showcase and illustrate grime articles which was very entertaining
and active as it included images and videos. Over all research helped me a lot as my written
style in my own article improved in my final draft. I looked at how text was positioned and that
the fact that text was not overwhelming. My written style depended on the target audience, in
both articles I wrote formal, but for my teen articles I will include questions, and quotes which
will relate to the reader. My layout ideas came very quickly as I got ideas from my research. I
made sure I experimented with columns and gutters, I also changed positions of my images so
I could decide my final look. The research was a good impact as I knew what content to include
in my articles. I made sure my text was written well and wouldn’t be biased towards anyone. I
also made sure my content was true and not fake as viewers may be upset by the content
produced. My mode of address was different for both target audiences. As one of my articles
was about youth clubs which was mainly a serious matter. I wrote in a serious manner and
wrote professionally so it does not come across as a joke. On the other hand I wrote normally
for my grime article as it had a casual feeling to it as I wanted the article to be fun and
entertaining towards the target audience.

3. The process of my articles resulted in emending and fixing my first drafts. I made sure my
article was original and had unique twists on all of the articles. Also I made sure I had a
clear beginning middle and end. This made my purpose clearer towards the target
audience and made me practice my organization of my articles. I made sure the pitching
of my articles were detailed and structured well. I planned out what images and text I
would include in my articles. I made sure all text was appropriate. I pitched my grime
ideas in my preproduction such as my mood board I included images of grime artists
who have lived in East London so I know what to talk about in my selected articles. I
made sure I pitched my final ideas to my peers so I could get feedback. The feedback led
to me getting advice on how I could emend my drafts. The peer feedback helped as it
gave me more confidence and guidance on what to improve on my articles. My teacher
gave me pros and cons on my work so I could improve as soon as possible. The
feedback went well as I put the feedback into my work. The changes I made was the
fonts, text sixes, images and mode of address. This went smooth as it made my articles
look more professional and more slick. I made sure my title was a bigger size than my
text so the audience is influenced into the article. I also made sure the images were clear
so the reader can understand the images as long as the text.

4. Drafting my articles were successful as I used my research as reference. It made
me have a good idea on what I should include in my articles. The re-drafting
was easy to do as I had feedback from peers and my teacher. I made sure I
made changes that will make the final products perfect. The redrafts gave me
a chance to improve my work and to add last minute elements which articles
include such as captions, drop caps, text etc. My written style was used well
as I used it in specific ways for different target audiences e.g. adults,
teenagers. The language I used was modern English, I used my language
well so the readers understand clearly. My mode of address was used
correctly in all articles. My main focus was to entertain, inform and to keep
the audience interested. I made sure the audience would not get bored or
overwhelmed by text. Examples of quotes from my articles are ‘The youth
club would be a place for guidance, comfort and advice’ that term set the
mood for my article it also comes across as comforting and very relating to
the target audience as they can relate. Another quote I included in one of my
articles is ‘ The most exciting thing that East London brings is the fact that
Grime has grown and has come a long way’ this states what my next
paragraph is going to be about. It also goes straight to the point of what my
article consists of.

5. I stored my written material very well as I saved it by taking hand written
notes. This helped me have a back drop of what I need to do, if I forgot
what I needed to add I would follow my structure. I Also stored my
articles electronically via JPEG, I then uploaded each of my articles on
my blogger where I submit my work. I backed up my work by saving it
into my journalism folder. None of my work had copyright involved as
all articles were put into a reader if any copied work was found.
In one of my articles I decided to
use a big pictures as it was aimed
for teenagers. I did not edit any of
my pictures used in my articles. I
only resized images. This image I
enlarged so it fits the rectangle
framing tool.
