Article plans - Top 5 games 2013

	Planning Comments
article genre (purpose, type)	This article is going to be informative/descriptive article, the purpose of this article is going to back up the fact that my magazine is still a gaming magazine as well as a lifestyle magazine, the reason for this is so people who bought the product for the gaming aspect have somewhere to go so they don’t think it was a waste of money.
Narrative voice (1st, 2nd or 3rd person)	The narrative voice for this article is going to be 3rd person, the reason is because I am going to be talking about them (the games) so it is going to be 3rd person because I am talking about them and how they got to the position in this top 5 countdown.
Register (informal/formal, colloquial, dialect, taboo words?)	The register for this article is going to be the same as the rest of these articles as it is going to be formal but contain aspects of informal language, I feel like this will help make a house style for the magazine, which will help the audience become familiar with the product.
Stylistics (Repetition, strong verbs, adjectives, alliteration, similes, metaphors, sentencing, rhythm)	I will have the exact same as other articles as I will involve most of the stylistics listed to the left as I feel that it would create a very effective article.
Tone of address (hectoring, sarcastic, ‘matey’, ironic, etc)	The tone of address in this article is not going to be as serious as the other two articles, this is because this article itself is not going to be as serious as the other two, the tone may be a bit more humorous/ sarcastic as it will help the young audience relate to the product.
Structure and pace (discourse structure, logical paragraphing, connectives, conclusion)	The structure of this page is not going to be the same as the rest of the pages in my magazine, it is going to have 5 boxes throughout the dps and they are going to have their own profile with facts and figures about them, with the game that gets the number one position having the bigger box not only to add prestige to it but also because there is likely to more information about it.
