I went back to look at my double
page spread introduction where I analysed an article so I could see a rough
idea of how one is constructed. After
I came to terms with this I then went back to look at my double page spread
research. Here I had made note of ways in which other magazines had use
language and information to meet conventions of the genre. I had also noted how
I would use these techniques when writing my own article. Here are a couple of
the main techniques that I learnt:
Using lexical features which promote the artists lifestyle is
suitable for the target audience as it creates a chance for personal identity
and and diversion to escape from reality.
Using slang associated
with the genre targets the demographic as this is most likely part
of their idiolect, meaning they can relate to the magazine.
I have applied both
of these techniques and theories to my article in order to create the same
result. In the top screenshot I have used an introduction paragraph which talks
about the audience. In this part I have used a more sophisticated formality in
order to reflect the intelligence and statues of the artist, using jargon and
musical knowledge. In the bottom screenshot I have written an interview with
the artist. My research shows this is a popular convention with established
magazines. It also allows me to show the personality of the artists through
language used and topics that I talk about.
