Planning - Masthead

I have started to plan for my magazine, I came up with ideas for different names for my masthead. I had to make sure that the name I finally chose would be able to link in with the genre of my magazine.

The names I came up with were:

• Escape- I like this idea because music can be an escape for some people. Also the word discharge can sound slightly harsh and this could link into the genre of music in the magazine.

• Infectious - I liked this word for a masthead because the lyrics in some pieces of music can be quite catchy and get stuck into your head. However the word sounds quite negative but this could reflect some of the genre of music in the magazine; as I am doing including alternative music - and they can sound harsh and negative at times.

• Panic - I liked this word because it is a synonyms for the word "alarm" and when something is alarming it can catch attention of an audience and that is something which I want my magazine cover to do. The word Panic can imply danger and danger can catch people's attention.

I will suvery people to ask their opinion on which name will be best for my magazine and this will also give me a better understanding of what name will catch my audiences' attention.

 I asked ten people which name they prefered for my masthead and the most chosen was "Infectious".







I am chosing the name "Infectious" because I think it will link into the gerne of music that the music will contain; also it was the name that the people I surved liked.
