The document discusses language register and how it relates to magazine style and target audiences. It explains that a magazine's language, word choice, and visual presentation like color scheme should suit the intended readership. For example, a magazine like Q targets older, more professional readers so it uses sophisticated language and muted colors. In contrast, EDM Weekly targets 16-30 year olds so it employs modern terminology and a bright, attention-grabbing color scheme. The document concludes that the creator wants their magazine to combine these styles by having bright, attractive elements for younger readers but also some professionalism to potentially attract older people as well.

1. Language register-read magazine articles, interviews and reviews as part of research/ decide on the style
you wish to adapt
Language register refers to the idea that the languageused on the magazinewill suitthe target audiencethe
magazine is aimed at. For example, a magazinelikeQ is typically aimed atan older, more professional
audience. Meaning on their front cover they will usesophisticated words combined with a non-argent colour
scheme so it is suitablefor that age category. Whereas for a magazine likeEDM Weekly, which is an electronic
dance music magazinethey will usemore modern day terminology combined with a brightcolour scheme to
interest that target audience becauseit is between 16-30 year olds that would typically read thatmagazine.
Therefore the colour scheme needs to be brightand the words fun and interestingto attract the audience.
Which is why you might see some magazines use slangor modern day words or sayings to be ableto target
their audience.
For my magazine, I want to combine the two opposingstyles together in makingsure that it is brightand
attractivefor my target audienceof 16-30 year olds,but also havea sense of professionalismas well so thatit
could possibly attractolder people as well as this will widen the audience of my magazine even though EDM
Music is generally for 16-30 year olds.
