Planning and Idea Development - Naming My Magazine

Having decided my genre and audience I decided to think of names for my magazine. I wanted something that is memorable and simple. To get some names ideas I went through my iPod to gain inspiration from song titles or artists that are already known and that I am familiar with. I also used online dictionaries and thesaurus to develop and perhaps expand on names that I particularly liked.

  • Aftershow
I like this idea as it fits in with the idea music and I think that it would make people think of an aftershow after a gig or something. It it short and simple and I think it would be really good for a magazine title. I also think it is suitable for my chosen genre of music, indie.

  • Flux
I like this possibility as it is not a very common word and I think it makes quite a statement. I was not too sure what this word meant, but as I liked the idea of it I looked it up and found that it meant "a flowing or a flow." This also made me realise that it is very suitable for a music magazine as it could suggest the music "flows". I really like this idea as it is very abrupt and memorable.

  • Matchbox
I think this idea is quite different as it doesn't directly relate to music but I do think it suits the kind of magazine I would like to produce. "Matchbox" kind of relates to someone who smokes, and could loosely tie in with festivals as people usually smoke and drink at them. If the link to festivals can be seen then it would be great for my magazine title as festivals relate to the genre of music I am basing my magazine on.
