3. A few of my favourite
names are…

4. An aura is an invisible field of energy that radiates
around a person or object. The artists in my magazine
are going to radiate with talent and style, therefore I
think this is an appropriate name.
Aura the distinctive atmosphere or quality that seems to surround and be
generated by a person, thing, or place

5. Royal has many connotations of importance, and status, which
means it is a very positive way to represent the artists in my
magazine, therefore, I think this would be a successful
Masthead.
Royalty are at the top of the hierarchy, and have a lot of social
influence, which is how I would like the artist in my magazine to
be portrayed.
Royal Having the status of a king or queen or a member of their family.

6. The word Muse is associated with Greek and Roman Mythology,
as there were 9 Muse’s – the daughters of Zeus and
Mnemosyne, who each protected a different art. The Muse,
Aoide protected Song, which is associated with music.
Muse, when said out load, also sounds very similar to ‘Music’ so
people will be able to work out what my magazine is about.
Muse

7. The artists in magazine are going to be up and coming,
therefore they will be aspirers. This name not only
related to the artists in m magazine, but also to the
audience. Audiences aspire to be like the artists they
see in magazine, and essentially idolise them, so this
name is very relevant.
This is known as Psychographics.
Aspire Direct one's hopes or ambitions towards achieving something.

8. The word canon is all about making a judgement
on someone, which is exactly what the audience
will be doing to the artists in my magazine,
especially as they are unheard of and up and
coming.
Canon A general law, rule, principle, or criterion by which something is judged.
