thinking of the title

After looking at different magazines and their ‘inside-outs’ I am now about to think and create a title for my music magazine.

First of all, why is the title important?

It brings the message to the reader – what the magazine is about, what style it has.

Is connected with any bands or music types?

My music magazine will be about rock and indie music, however, I’m planning to talk not only about music in my magazine, also I would want to develop the topic of fashion and lifestyle in it.

The title has to be remarkable and easy to remember, it also must be easy to pronounce, basically it should please audience and be ‘adopted’ to it. While thinking of a title I must consider my target audience preferences.

After producing a little mind map and brainstorming of what it could be I came up with several options:

• l'esprit

L'esprit means mind in french, and i believe it suits perfectly for the title of the music magazine. Music often becomes something much more than just a sound for many people, it could reflect their lifestyle, their fashion style or even state of mind! Its easy to explain by giving few examples from my own experience - music reflects the mood and thoughts very often. For example, the band Radiohead usually drives me to a very depressing, however calm mood and some electro music like Skrillex is suitable for some action - when you do work or when you simply walk.

• CONFESSION
  

Music often reflects our thoughts as i have mentioned before and sometimes lines from the lyrics describe the best what we feel or what we think. Sometimes people even use quotes from some of the song to bring the message to someone they need to speak to but can't find the right words.

• Quis

Quis means wanted in Portuguese. I believe that could be a very symbolic title because true fans of some bands or singers are usually becoming obsessed with them. A magazine with such title could include a lot of gossip about some musicians, their photoshoots, interviews, etc.

• Saxum

Saxum means stone or rock in latin. The magazine with such title could talk about rock or heavy metal music.

Which one do you like the most? please leave your answer in comments! thank you :)
