Prompt #4 Considering Delivery and Style

By: Alex Vu

Depending on what kind of article you come across, it can either peak your interest or completely bore you to death and that all depends on the delivery, style and targeted audience.

The first example, is a magazine article about 3D image correlation but the main is how they present their delivery. The targeted audience for something like this is usually professors or people looking for random knowledge.  The author of this magazine article uses so much detail explaining every single process of the procedure. It is almost as if you are conducting the process yourself. The style of the article is more of a direct approach to tell you exactly how and why is happening the way it is.

The second example is a scholarly article focused on more about how people are changing technology and how people are getting involved in engineering projects around the world.  The delivery on this is to emphasize how important these projects are to our community around the world.  The style of the article is trying to influence people to get out and become a part of this technology revolution.  The targeted audience is mainly towards people that want to get out and make a change to the world.

The purpose of the magazine is to show you how a process is done and the purpose of the scholarly article is to hopefully influence you to try and make a difference in the world.  Its really difficult to say which one we trust, because each have their own purpose in what each want to accomplish.
