Language Register
My magazine is going to have a semi formal language type. Some pages may have some euphemisms but this will be a rare occasion or due to quoting a band that has been interviewed. You will not see any language type that would be used in an R&B magazine such as VIBE featuring an artist like Kanye West. However the magazine may contain informal language, festival jargon and swearing that a band/artist may have used during an interview. Because Indie bands are becoming less of a rarity there will be a lot of bands featuring in the magazine which all feel they deserve respect so this will add to the exclusiveness of the magazine and attract the niche market audience i'm looking for. Furthermore bands may have polysyllabic responses to an interviewer as they will want to seem formal, intelligent and respectable in the industry. However bands may also give monosyllabic responses as they may not want to leak any information on an upcoming song or album they may be in the process of writing and this could be portrayed as rude or arrogant.

  1. To move into band 4 you need to link this post to specific examples from the magazines you have analysed.
