Possible Titles for Magazine•hitslideSlightly rebellious and not sticking to grammar conventions with the lower case ‘h’. The word is not a conventional one and made just for the masthead for my magazine. The name gives connotations of smoothness using the word ‘slide’.

•The Music MagazineThis name is the most simple and literally says what I am creating – a music magazine. This could be shorted to TMM to be used for shorter reference.

Simple names can be rather effective to make people remember the magazine.

•Brit HitsThis title can restrict the magazine to only British artist which could be a problem as many US artists have conquered the UK. The name uses rhyme and repetition to keep the name catchy and quick.

•OYE – Open Your EarsThis name is a pun for ‘open your eyes’. Changed to ears to emphasise the music theme . I don’t feel that the name represents the genre well as it doesn’t tell the reader what to expect.

•ShapesThis name represents the house style which I may be using. The style could feature around circles or distorted shapes so the name represent the house style. The name doesn’t represent music at all so this could be a unique feature.

•The CurveThis name is a favourite of mine as I think it will sound and look the best on a magazine. The name doesn’t represent music which is a unique feature and it also uses a determiner of ‘the’ which tells the reader it is the only magazine to buy. I also feel that the name can contribute towards the house style.

•ChartedThis title represents the UK charts and the music industry well. I think the name is rather stereotypical of a music magazine and doesn’t give a sense of uniqueness.

This font represents the name as it has curved edges but also look rather strong and powerful. The V has a dot at the bottom of it which could link to a logo or a bullet point to use in certain features.

This may not be a very suitable choice as it could be related to more of a rock genre.

This font is once again rather simple but effective. The edges are curved to represent the name which works well. The bad points is that it may not attract my target audience as it doesn’t really stand out.

This font has the curved edges along with a child theme which would nearly fit my audience of 12-16 year olds.

It is a rather soft front which reflects the pop style of the magazine.

This font is similar to a disco font so wouldn’t stick to my target audience.

The curves work well together and help create a more ‘whole’ logo as the letters fit together although it would be rather difficult to read.

THE CURVEThis font is another curved one to match the name and also sticks to the simplicity side. It won’t stand out in a row of magazines but would work well to make the front page uncluttered and look clean.
