My target audience is people between the ages of 16-24. In order to target my audience I will have to use casual language, neither fully formal or informal. There will be some colloquial words used such as 'rocking' etc but I will also use some taboo words / Swearing because in rock alternative interviews they normally use some swear words but not all swearing. In my article it will use some technical language because it is going to be about where and how the artist had first got into recording and producing their music. It may use language also in which may discuss the instruments and technology used, previous gigs or performances that she had taken part in already, who helped her get to where she is- like a manager, and finally how she promoted, or plans on promoting her music.
In a similar published article there would be between 1000-2000 words with 8-10 paragraphs separated equally with headings, or other questions in a different style text or colour. There would be approximately 10 words per line, depending on how many columns and the size of the actually text and columns used.
I could make the article title grab the readers attention by using different style, bold, large texts. It could be use of lyrics from one of the artists song, or the name of the artist. Saying 'exclusive' in a bold text in the left side corner with the title being a combination of colours which is separate to the house style colour slightly. I will try use a play on words in which would link to the article and the artist. In the kicker paragraph I could write vaguely what the article is about using facts about the artist / group and why she become a music artist- what the lyrics she writes are implying, and what her life was like before she finally reached the music industry.
The first paragraph will use a drop-cap and also highlight the first few words in bold so that it grabs the attention. In order to keep the reader reading I will use emphasis on the language I use and I will make it sound new, exciting, and interesting by the way I write. Using words like 'amazing', 'offit', 'banging' etc to show the emphasis of the music. I could use information about the band in which is interesting to keep people tuned in and also say that she got into the industry by sending in her music to the magazine, and people may keep reading because they want to do the same, and be part of the industry and follow in the new artists footsteps.
To make sure that the reader carries on reading I will hint at things that are to come in the article in which will interest them. Like I could say for example, a quote from the artist or something about her maybe joining another solo artist and doing a duet for her next single, maybe from someone in her family. I could keep them reading by adding some interesting facts and by the words I use so that they know that the best is yet to come in the article, which connotes the best is still to come for the artist.
The final paragraph of my article will be trying to get other people involved in doing the same as the artist did. In my final paragraph I want it to sum up what was in the article but also have a huge impact so I want it to say what is expected of this new solo artist, and her future plans in music. It could contain upcoming gigs that she is attended or participating and maybe even a website link to get her new single, and listen to all her music and get in touch with her.
I have decided that I could put down a website or social networking site in which the reader can listen to the artists music, and also download the music she has already made. I will not include gig information on the double page spread but I could say at the end of the article 'grab the next issue to find out dates for gigs 2011' or go to the magazines website. This means there is a possibility they would buy the next issue and also they would go to the website for sure to find out more for free.
