DECIDING ON MY MAGAZINE TITLE

DECIDING ON MY MAGAZINE TITLE

I have had two ideas about what i want to name my music magazine, BLURRED and DIFFER. The name BLURRED came about when i was coming up with names on Photoshop and i seen that the name looked right on the page, it was previously BLUR until i recognized one of the largest indie bands are called BLUR, with the title BLURRED i wanted to add a smudged affect to the title, and blur it out. With my magazine title i wanted to go for something like THE FLY as it can fill the mast head space and fits the page well, because if you had a small word it would look peculiar on the page.
Adding to this i wanted the magazine title to mean something to the audience and also be creative. I randomly came up with the title DIFFER, i then tried to see how it fitted on the page and it also filled up nearly all of the mast head space, also when i looked for definitions of the word i came across, ''to be unlike or dissimilar'' which fits with my target audience, as individual/alternative is all about being different, a quote that went with the word was ''Don't be afraid to differ, be afraid of being the same as everyone else'' which i believed was the perfect quote for my target audience. This fits with my want for it to means something to me and the audience, i would also add a little quote and the definition of the word on the front cover in small writing as i believe that would be a nice effect.
Therefore i have chosen to name my magazine DIFFER.

I am a fan of this style as I believe it makes the photo interesting and depending on the colour you use you can set different tones and moods in your magazine, I will probably not do this for my photo shoot as I want my model to be wearing a few colours and not just have one bright stand out aspect. Daniel Kennedy: This photographer opts to use public figures like Dermott O’Leary. He also likes for his models to show two sides or seen to be having fun, in the examples, he as Dermott smiling then with his head through a TV, then the female above is wearing contrasting outfits, I believe he does this to showcase personalities. Terry Richardson: Terry Richardson is one of the most famous photographers at this time. He is known for just having a white background with the artist in front. This has the effec...
