Magazine Name

To come up with a name we have to think of something that represents the magazine being about music as well as the genre. Of course it needs to be original and something appealing to the target audience. I found this especially hard when deciding on a name for an indie magazine as the term 'indie' is rarely used to describe something of your own, such as the magazine. But of course without using this targeting the right audience is difficult. Eventually I have decided to call my name 'LP' with the letters standing for 'Lastest Playing' which I have changed from long playing to fit to my magazine. I think this does link to my genre and fits in to what my magazine is about; the latest new music. Although LPs are not considered particularly modern, what it actually stands for and the contemporary look I am planning for my magazine, should help it to appeal to my target audience.

  1. Well done Becca, all these posts make it fairly obvious what style of magazine you will be creating as well as the fictional artist who will feature on the front.

    The look you're going for seems very achievable you will need to experiment with photography and basic composition. Whilst your cover model will clearly be human you can experiment with anything to work out composition and to build confidence and experiment.
