Masthead Name Ideas
by Diana Kuduwa
1. Fire/Flame
1.1. This represents the type of music this genre produces and will allow the magazine to have some branding if I add an little icon of a flame on one side of the masthead. It could also represent how it will be a burning start into the industry in a positive way.
2. Bounce
2.1. This is an action that most people from my target audience do when they hear this type of music to it provides recognition for them and is like what most Hip-Hop magazines do, by putting a verb as the masthead to draw them in to find reasons why it's that name.
3. Bling
3.1. This word will add colour and vibrancy to the front cover as the word would bring a spark to the magazine and catch the target audiences eye to see the magazine more close up and see what it has to offer. It will also go with my idea of my main image if the model wears a gold chain and so this will anchor with the masthead well. This word denotes expensiveness and my target audience like to show off with their material things stereotypically and makes the magazine seem special and stand out from others from the first issue and connotes how it will shine after a few more issues compared to others.
3.1.1. So far, this is a good name for my magazine because there are more positives to the name and would anchor with the main image a lot and is original and no magazine is called this, from what I know. However, I will gather more information from the records I will do in my next blog.
