Coming up with a title and tagline...

Coming up with a title for my magazine was probably one of the hardest tasks in this coursework, and along with the title has to come a punch line. From my research i found that one thing for definite was that all titles link with the genre and style of the magazine. For example, Classic rock is the title of a famous rock magazine, terrorize is the title of a heavy metal magazine. So they all link in with their themes and styles. As I was thinking of a title I also made sure that the title is very clear and does what it says on the tin. The title I thought of in the end was 'Stage'. I chose this because music and bands are normally expressed or presented on stages. This then lead to me thinking of the tag line :'Where music is expressed' as it links in with the title and complements it very well. Below is the design for my title and thought it was appropriate to make it black with a white outer glow as it makes it clear and stands out, through its size that it is the title of my music magazine. I have chosen this messy, splattered font as I feel that it lets off a very 'Punk' feel to it and is clearly fit for purpose. However, one thing I was criticised for was calling a heavy punk rock magazine 'Stage'. My reason for choosing this title was purely because my magazine is a generic punk magazine that covers different areas of 'Punk'.
