Possible names for my Music Magazine

Before I started to design my magazine I had to think of a unique and powerful name for my magazine. To do this I searched for words which I thought would fit to the genre of music i was trying to get. I want to find a name what showed the upcoming of new music and the search for amazing music. Some of the names i came up with are:

Talent - When I thought of the word music, talent always comes to mind. I think this is a good names for a music magazine because all singers have talent and it's a unique talent to have. The name talent is quite modern and suits the age range of my magazine. It can also be seen as upcoming talent and that is what I am aiming to achieve. All the audience for my magazine will know the word talent and what is truly means so this is a good candidate for my magazine title.

Chord - This is an appropriate title for my music magazine as it is a word which is associated to a music instrument. When my audience see this title they will instantly know it's a music magazine as it's a very well known musical word. However, this title has downfalls as it is very plain and boring. This is the title I least like.

Acoustic - The title 'Acoustic' is very suitable for my magazine because I am aiming for a magazine that specifically aims around acoustic music with just a voice and a guitar as this is my favourite genre of music. This is quite a good candidate for my magazine and may be used for my title.

Unsigned - The title 'Unsigned' is my favourite title. This is because throughout my full magazine production my first thought was that I wanted to produce a magazine that specified on upcoming music what my audience wouldn't have heard of before. So the word unsigned gives the meaning of bands/singers who have yet to be signed to a record company but have a very unique talent. Also when the word unsigned is used my audience will know that it means music because it is modern for my age range. The word unsigned might also make my audience think of the TV programme which searches for new musical talent. This is my favourite title for my magazine and I have chosen to use this one.

After I chose my Magazine title I wanted to test it with different fonts to see what it would look like best with, these are what I came up with.















Out of these 5 different font ideas I decided to use the 4th one for my Magazine title.
