As I have said in previous posts, magazine titles are very inmportant to establish the genre of music the magazine is representing and also to attract readers to the magazine itself.
As you can see in this image, most magazine titles are have a certain criteria:
- Memerable name
- Eye catching colours
- Sharp, stand out fonts
The title of my magazine will be FIND (Folk & Indie's New Direction). This name, I think, has the same effect as NME because it's using the first letters of words from an important phrase, as the phrase usually indicates what the magazine is about. I also chose this name for my magazine as when you discover something new, you'd say it was a 'new find', which is what my magazine will be, a new find. My magazine will also introduce people to new music, artists and bands so that music will be a new find for people.
Have you undertaken some market research to judge reactions to your title choice? If so, why not add a comment or two here to affirm your choice?
ReplyDeleteWell, it was the only idea I could come up with and the people I asked liked it, so there's not much market research really.
