When planning my magazine it is essential that I take every detail of my creation into consideration. As part of my product I will write an article for my music magazine. This article will be a very important part of the media product and the language, alongside the grammar of the piece, will be very important. To make me piece as professional as possible, it is is essential I plan the register and language I will use in this article and ensure the language used is correct, both grammatically and semantically for the genre of my magazine.
To get an idea of the type of register and convention I wanted to follow I read magazines such as Loud and Quiet, Crack and NME. The majority of the articles in all of these magazines followed a convention that could be called 'Informal'. Most of the magazines in the music genre want to appeal to their audience so use a more friendly tone that makes the reader feel more comfortable. Synthetic personalisation is also used to make the reader want to read more of the magazine. I will try and use similar conventions to these when writing my own article.
I will use an informal tone to try and aim my article and overall magazine at a target audience that will be interested in the genre and that will want to read more.
Certain magazine articles focus on interviews, where as others simply write about a band/artist or group or product. I must decide which I will choose to write about.
To try and stick to as many conventions as possible I will incorporate both of these factors into my own magazine article piece. I will introduce an artist by describing their music along with a current album or other media product, and then go on to conduct and publish an interview with this artist. I believe by doing this I will be able to both interact and persuade my audience, along with entertaining them.
