Magazine Name Mind Map


The magazine names I concluded on was between Studio and Cassette, as I feel both are versatile yet identifiable as a music magazine, particularly Pop; as Cassettes were mainly distributed containing popular music ( not all necessarily being in the genre of 'pop' music - but all pop music falls into sub-genres). And Studio - that all pop music is recorded in a studio, and it will match with the contemporary fashionable style of my magazine. I don't think it restrict my audience as Cassette/Studio isn't too mature/childish and doesn't have any connotations that aren't to do with music. My only issue with Cassette is that people could relate it to vintage/retro music; yet this will be proven wrong as the style of my magazine will be very contemporary - with strong influences from high fashion magazines. The issue I have with Studio is that it isn't strongly related to a music magazine, especially the pop genre.
After asking ten people in my target audience of the choice between 'Casette' or 'Studio, seven said that Studio sounds more professional and closely relatable to Pop music, whereas they found Casette would represent vintage/retro music.
Therefore, Studio is my chosen magazine name.
