Name ideas

I have come up with a number of magazine names for my magazine. I have chosen these names because I believe they suit the style and type of magazine I am going for:

·         Rockapalooza

·         The Rock-a-thon

·         Chord

·         The glory days

·         11

·         Pump

·         The Reminisce

·         Daydreamer

·         Remedy

·         Axis

·         Golden music

These names make me think of classic rock apart from pump which is more for teenage. The three magazine names I most like are chord, Rock-a-palooza and The Rock-A-Thon. This is because they are all obviously music related and from the title you can tell what the magazine is about.

Chord: Chord is clever as it relates to guitar. It’s very simple but also memorable. Magazine’s like Q and NME which are short and simple are the most popular magazines.

Rockapalooza: The name is fun to say and is also memorable in the mind as it is very distinctive. Also it has connotations to party which people enjoy, making people buy my magazine because they can make that link between fun and my magazine.

The Rock-a-thon: it stays in the mind and makes me think of a huge musical celebration which is what my magazine is aiming for, a celebration of the golden age of music.

Colour connotations

I will use very simple colours as my target readers are sophisticated and educated. They will also have an interest in classic rock so will be reading the article instead of trying to attract the customers with pictures and big text. These colours will be light blue, dark blue, white or black. I will not use too many bright colours like red, yellow and green.

Week 3

This week i carried out my Key concepts research. This was completed on a Prezi. This would help me when designing my music magazine. The Key concepts are:

• Codes and conventions
• Audience
• Institution
• Representation

I wrote about these four things and included examples to support my points. For all Four concepts, i wrote information about:

• Who owns them
• Who reads them
• How are musical genres represented in music magazines
• The history of music magazines

There are alot more on the presentation which i answer thoroughly.

Week 2

This week i started a blog. this was new to me as i had never used blogger before. it was hard to get the hang of but eventually i got the hang of it. The first thing i uploaded was my front covert. I then added my contents page and evaluated it also. After this i started my front cover and contents page analysis. this took me a while as i was writing quite alot. i then did a double page spread which also took a  long time. i uploaded all of these things to my blog
