Q magazine
Q magazine has a target
audience of adults interested in music. For example, the magazine uses
intelligent, descriptive language throughout. “The same charming lack of guile
runs through … the band’s debut”. The word “guile” is sophisticated and assumes
that the reader understands this level of vocabulary easily. This suggests that
the audience is well educated about this type of music.
Also, it seems that it is
written for very passionate music fans. For example, on an article about the
singer ‘Miguel’, the magazine uses passionate language such as “I FUCKING LOVE
YOU, MIGUEL!” The words ‘fucking’ and ‘love’ show how passionate the audience
is about the singer.
Q magazine also has a target
audience of people who are interested in musician’s lives before fame. An
article about ‘Krept & Konan’ goes from “Wilson’s (Konan) stepfather Ned
tried to force the intruder…..was shot dead on the stairs” to “When we walk
through Thornton Heath, the cars beep, everyone gives love”. The article uses a
lot of emotive language to get the story across to the audience. Words such as
‘shot’ and ‘love’ show pain and make the reader feel a type of way.
