Language and Register
When I was researching Q magazine
which I am basing my conventions on, I found it to be very informal. This was
due to it having different words they are blocked out with stars (***) these
tended to be words that are inappropriate for audiences that are younger. This is
another reason why my target audience is 16 - 20 years of age. The magazine is
not like other music magazines that you will read as it doesn’t tell the reader
it speaks to the reader. I found this very effective when reading as I could
relate to different quotes and I felt like I was conversing which kept me
reading the magazine. I have used these conventions on my own products and I
think they are very effective. However this has limited my media products to a
target audience no younger than 15 due to using informal language.
