Double Page Spread

The double page spread by Metal Hammer in December 2010 about the architects, used lots of informal language as this suits the target audience as it is not difficult to read and easy to understand, this is what I would use for my magazine as my target audience is 17-19 year olds and when they purchase the music magazines they expect an easy read.

Also there is a range of different sentence styles used in this article, this makes the article flow more and simple to read. Further more it makes it more understandable so in my magazine I am going to use a range of sentence styles to create this effect in my magazine.

The use of superlatives and imperatives helps top advertise the band as the superlatives make the band sound very good and the imperatives make you want to buy there new album or single. I would therefore use this to advertise the band I am using for my double page spread.

Colloquialism are used through out the article especially in the quotes therefore this makes the quotes sound more real as the use of language is what is expected of young people. This then made me realise for quotes I will have to use language that would be expected of the type of band they are e.g. young, would use a lot more colloquialisms.

There is a use of rhetorical questions throughout the magazine this therefore makes the audience question themselves and gets them thinking. I may use them in my article as I would hopefully get the same effect from that on my magazine.

There is a lot of use of active language throughout the magazine, I may use this in my magazine as it creates the feeling of looking forward to the future for this band and the audience will therefore want to be a part of it.
