Magazine Name Ideas

 INDIE; the magazine 'indie' is clear and shows the reader the magazines name; It represents what my profile reader is interested in which is Indie Rock Music. I think this magazine name would sell to a greater audience as it relates to my genre. 

34 YEARS or 34; These numbers represent how long the indie rock genre has been around, the only problem with the name is it would have to change year by year to meet my concept and would not necessarily reach my target audience as it can be miss interpreted. 

PHOENIX; the word 'phoenix' represents a unique bird, I could use this concept and switch it to indie rock being a unique music genre. 

PLECTRUM; in indie rock bands they will be a guitarist or bass player which will use a plectrum to play with, the name represents a type of genre. It's also a masculine name and wouldn't represent 'pop' genre. 

CASSETTE; Indie rock was established in the 1980's meaning cassette players where still used by the public, Cassette would represent the era if indie rock music. It can also be turned into French for a smaller word 'Vanne'

CHOISIR; is a French word meaning 'pick' as in guitar pick, the English terminology would not necessarily appeal to the indie rock target audience and more reflect a woman's weekly magazine this is why I chose to put it in French. 

IIRM; I like the shortness behind NME and for my own Mast Head decided to create 'Independent Indie Rock Magazine'  this would fit my reader profile as it clearly states the genre of my magazine. Or IRM which removes the 'independent' section as the word 'indie' itself represents independent. 

INVENTORY; in English the definition for this is 'to refer to goods and materials' I believe I could use this to refer too the goods and material which is in my magazine contents.


Consequently I haven't chosen the font for my magazine ideas; I'm going to research Indie Rock magazine mast heads and develop a mast head which my target audience will like and will be aesthetically pleasing.
