The good points of this are that it fits in well
with the indie genre as it is exotic, alternative S T S urf he ound
Enlightened
and hard to understand (just like an indie Positives are that this contains the words This again fits in well with the ‘free spirit’
person themselves) it is also unusual so will that relate to indie culture such as surf and type indie idea. It can also relate to music
be good for slogans such as ‘bringing the sound. Negatives are that It isn't as catchy in that we are educating them and
exotic and exciting back into music’. It will as I would want it to be. enlightening them with good music. Bad
also interest readers into what this word points are that It may be a put off as its
stands for and means but the concept is, is spiritual.
that it can be what they make of it, as indie
people are creative.
The bad points are that it has no clear and
obvious definition which can be off putting to
the less out going music fans. It also has no
reference to music in the name.
Fascination Nation
I really like the rhyming idea of this title as that makes it relate to the
idea of it being a music magazine. I like the fascination part as indie
people are generally fascinating themselves and also fascinated in
things. The nation part shows collectiveness and that this is a big
group of unique, alternative people and reading this magazine will
make you feel like you belong with the fascination nation.
The negatives are the length, it may take up more space of the front
cover than I wanted possibly loosing the minimalistic indie touch?
Atlas
The positive part to this name is that
Indie people are known for loving to
find new music and listen to unknown
M asthead
and sometimes unsigned bands in
order to be alternative. The fact the
mast head would be called ‘Atlas’
means it will be like at atlas for them
ideas…
but instead of maps all about new
music, bands, gigs and where to find
them. A negative would be that young
people may not understand the idea
behind the name as quickly as I’d like.

with font.
‘Blake’ www.dafont.com
XXII Arabian Onenightstand www.dafont.com An interesting Aztec feel to it defiantly fitting in with the genre.
This gives it a cultural style referencing to many different types of music (which will
interest target audience). It also looks alternative and magical. What I don’t like is it
may look like it isn't an English magazine on a quick glance which may put people
off as they think they wont be able to read it.
HFF modern strand www.dafont.com
The line going through and shape of letters give this a funky style but I
am questioning if it’s too black and dark?

I love the indie style to this font, possibly hard for people to
distinguish the ‘a’.

the interview which would attract the A new band containing many
target audience… To do this the quote photos of the lead singer and other
