I have looked into what I should have to be my title of my rock magazine. When you think of rock music electric guitars and amplifiers spring to mind, this is what I would base my ideas of the name my magazine around, here are my ideas:
- Amped - This came to mind as I thought of the amplifier which is amp for short, the amplifier is used to make the electric guitar sound the way it does in concerts so it is relevant to the rock genre. Amped is also a word used by young adults as a way to say that they are full of energy/fired up. The use of this word appeals to my target audience as they will understand what it means and relate to this feeling of being at a rock concert. A variation to this name is Amped Chord, I needed some variety to move to if amped on it’s own wasn’t working, a chord is also a term used by guitarists.
- Unplugged - This is a term used in the rock industry to show that a rock band had used an acoustic guitar for their music rather than the electric guitar.
- Distorted Chord - A distorted sound is used by many rock guitarists with the help of amplifiers, the chord is an arrangement of notes that a guitarist puts together to make music. This makes this title relevant to the rock genre as the sound made by the electric guitar is distorted.
- Blare - The term is used to describe a loud sound which closely relates to rock music, it is like the roar of the guitar from the amp.
Now with my ideas I needed to find a design and font to use for my masthead; most of the name ideas are related to the sound made by an amplifier which is a distorted sound, however, I thought that it would be better to use a font that had a shattered effect to it which links to the rock genre, like they have been seen smashing their guitars on the ground in concerts. The font is Broken Glass and this is what it looks like with my masthead name ideas:
