Q Live- Double Page Spread Both pages in this magazine feature

frequent informal language, however they only appear in this way on quotations from specific artists/band members.

This will help to focus on the specific target audience as the language used will help to relate to them.

I am likely to use some informal language, possibly in the way it has been used in Q magazine, through quotations. As mentioned it will help to relate to the audience. However I will try to keep a range of formal language throughout.

Tone

The tone I would like to use will depend on the language I use.

Through researching Q magazine, a mixture of formal and informal language may help to keep interest in the article and create a balanced tone throughout when reading it.

This will also help to attract the target audience I aim for in creating this magazine, focusing on people of ages 15-30.

Language Use of occasional slang will help to

relate to the audience and to balance out the formality of the article/magazine. This type of writing may be used In captions or otherwise quotations.

I have decided to write in a fairly casual form, but still keeping a level of formality, for the double page spread of my magazine as the audience may feel more comfortable and suited to the text they are reading. This also suits the genre of music to be presented in the magazine.
