Colour Scheme Ideas, Name Ideas And Feature Story Ideas

-Choose a variety of name ideas (at least 12) for you magazine and explain your choices. State what your final choice is for the name of your magazine and the reasons for this.


Colour Scheme




I have used colours such as black and white as I found that they are used for the title of almost every indie logo, for example; the images below. I liked the idea of pink and grey as 66% of my audience are female and pink is stereotypically a girl's favourite colour. I have decided to use the top right colour scheme as yellow is not categorized as a certain gender colour.

Feature Story Ideas



''10 New Faces Of 2015''
This will grab the audience's attention as a list of new Indie singers will be specified. My target audience would like this as my reader profile research shows that 91.67% listen to music every day. This shows they would be willing to seek new singers to listen to.

''Catfish And The Bottlemen On Tour''
This feature cover story will fit with my target audience as Catfish And The Bottlemen are an Indie Rock band. This story will appear on the front cover of my magazine gripping people's attention as they would like to know more about this tour. They would purchase this magazine to read more.

''Unseen photos!''
This feature story idea is teasing the audience as they now know that this magazine contains unseen images. This will grab their attention as they feel like they need to see these images. They will purchase the magazine to find out more which is why this feature story idea is successful. 

Name Ideas

I have used my reader profile research as a stepping stone for the name ideas for my music magazine to suit my target audience. 

''Arabella''
Arabella; Latin for 'yielding to prayer' also meaning beautiful, lovable, graceful, is a name of a song by Arctic Monkeys; an indie band my target audience listen to. This also fits with my target audience as 66.67% are female. Arabella is a great choice for my magazine name as it does not only include a ladylike meaning, (beautiful,) it relates to a famous indie band. 

''Independent''
Independent is a good choice for my magazine name as my theme (indie) is a shorter word for independent. It also suits my target audience as 75.00% listen to music through their mobile phone showing they have their independent playlists. 0.00% listen to music dependently through the radio.

''Daily''
''Daily'' suits my target audience as 91.67% listen to music every day. Although I do not think this name idea is as effective as it is a dull and boring name. 

''1''
Using a number for my magazine creates a unique effect which would grab people's attention. 1 could mean the 1'st best magazine around.
