Audience Of Front Page/ Conclusion to this • Audience is not specifically set. Anywhere between ages of 10-25 • However the main image is of Drake (Hip Hop Artist). Inclines that the main audience would be typified around his style of music. • Other news relates to other artists. E.g Ne-Yo. Which shows that the audience may be between R’n’B and Hip-Hop listeners, However there are different types. • Younger colloquial language, hinting a slide to younger culture.

However language used is specific to the genre of music. Heavily influences speech. • Formality includes seriousness of articles • No Jargon. .
Navigation Of The Magazine/ Preferences. • The rather opaque navigation bar of the web page. • Albeit yellow back ground.

Although a physical copy would be more convenient for a special topic.
