Title Ideas for Music Magazine

I thought of a few ideas for my music magazine title, including, 'Outlandish', which was to symbolise the magazine and music in the magazine being unique. I also came up with 'Vibe' emphasising on the music genre of the magazine, which is short and bold for the reader. Then I thought about 'Old-School Beats!' which really lets the audience know what type of music the magazine is about. However I thought this title was a bit too long and wasn't catchy enough to catch the audiences attention. Lastly, I then came up with 'Funky Fuse' which I have decided on using for my final magazine. I like it because of the use of alliteraton, making it really catchy and memorable for the audience. It also resembles the Funky music, and old school garage which the music magazine is based on.

Ideas for Music Magazine

Brief Plan of Music Magazine- Ideas
Throughout researching different kinds of music magazines, I have a broader insight of how different types of music magazines have different conventions. For example, the type of language used when the target audience differs, such as using informal language to a younger target audience. I have a rough idea of what the outcome of my magazine will be and have planned out my initial first thoughts of my magazine shown below.

Targeted audience:
-Females in teens, 15+ years of age

Genre of magazine:
- Old school garage and funky house (new modern music, as well as older music which then makes the magazine target a wider audience, from older people to the younger generation)

Front cover:
- Girl band imagery. Girly colours, such as pastel pale colours- pinks, blues, yellows. Feminine font and text type.

Article (double paged spread):
- Interview with a girl band- maybe the featured girl band on the front cover
