Conventions of a Problem Page


o   The masthead is large and clear in order to quickly inform the reader on the page topic.

o   A clear image of the agony aunt creates a sense of familiarity between them and the reader, as does the use of a name in the masthead. The agony aunt is always smiling to imply they are friendly, nice and trustworthy.  

o   A distinct difference between question and answer, usually in colour, helps the text to be clear and easy to read.

o   Most columns have bright colours, often including pink, which suggest a female target audience.

o   Key words are emphasised to catch the reader’s attention and curiosity.

o   Contact information allows the reader to get involved with the problem page.

o   Contain slogans, usually to explain why the agony aunt’s advice is reliable.

o   Some problem pages contain images relating to the questions.
