I think this article provides some inspiration for my ampersand article because of the title. It really grabs your attention right when you read it. I want my article to do the same. The title is one of the first things that the reader will come across and you really want it to spark some interest in order for them to want to read your article.

This article gives me some inspiration because of the layout. I really like how there are some bolded sections to tell the reader what that part of the writing will be about. I think that it really keeps the article organized when you have some specific sections and I also find it a lot more visually appealing than just several paragraphs in a row.

This provides some inspiration because of the pictures that go along with the topic of writing. As a reader I know that I always enjoy reading things that have pictures to go along with it and so as a writer I feel that I should add some into my article. This article also has the separated sections that I like, as I mentioned before.
