Evaluation

Question 5


My magazine attracts the audience by having pictures of young people on the front. With my magazine being aimed at young people with an average age of 20, it makes sense to have people of a similar age on the front cover. The language used is formal enough to be used in a magazine, however informal enough to be understood by the audience. This means that common words a used more over complex intellectual words. This will be easier to read and understand. When adding text to my project, it was important to take the more of address into consideration. This will influence the level of respect, formality, friendliness etc. I also had to take into account the relationship between the audience and the text, for example if the text is intended to be funny, informative etc. The mode of address used in my magazine varies from teacher to pupil and peer to peer. Teacher to pupil is used in my double page spread because I wrote an informative article about a band, describing there path to fame. Peer to peer is used on my contents page in the editor note, for example addressing the audience by saying “hey” and welcoming them to the magazine.
This shows an example of where peer to peer mode of address is used
