This magazine’s main audience is musical and of all ages
but mainly ages between 18-30 due to it having quite formal language that
wouldn’t appeal to children. There is a variety of music this magazine looks at
which I can see from the language on the cover, for example, “Rolling Stones
exclusive, collaborating with Amy Winehouse.” The Rolling Stones is well known
in Rock and Amy Winehouse is well known in Jazz which will attract audiences
from both fan bases.
“I was worried the Monkeys...” Only people whom knew of Arctic Monkeys would understand this quote was talking about them. This shortened slang of their band name is a colloquial use of language to give the audience comfort in their reading as it is casual.
“Alex Turner & Miles Kane, first major interview as
The Last Shadow Puppets.” The use of
‘&’ shows the magazine isn’t completely formal but it gives it a sense of
style perhaps, given it is a music magazine which is all about different types
of styles.
However, there isn’t any serious colloquial language on
the cover apart from the quote which has clearly been spoken out loud at some
point during say an interview. Everything else which has been written is very
formal and clear to understand which is there for most ages to be able to read.
