Magazine Mastheads

To find a name for my magazine, I researched existing magazines. I want my magazine to predominantly feature R&B music, so I focused mainly on these magazines. For example:

• Vibe (Urban music & R&B)



• NME (Rock & Pop)



• MOJO (Rock)



• Q



• Rolling Stones

I also brainstormed ideas, through research and using 'Thesaurus.com' and a Spanish dictionary to give alternatives and synonyms of words related to music. So far I have come up with:

• Echo



• Silence



• Music



• Rock



• Armonia



• Acoustic

M (music)

After considering all of these mastheads, I have decided I like 'Armonia' and 'Echo'. 'Armonia' means harmony in Italian. This links with music and possibly the genre of the magazine. I also like 'Echo'.
However, I have chosen to use 'M' (meaning music) as I feel it suits my magazine, hints at the genre and fits the feel of my magazine perfectly.
