After a lot of questioning and surveying people on titles I have decided in the end that my favourite name is 'Basement'. The word arises connoatations of the indie and singer songwriter music as often portrayed in American films bands of this music type tend to practice in basements. and after drafting some mock ups for potential covers e.c.t Furthermore, for my colour scheme, over the Christmas holidays I asked numerous friends and family members to chose which colour scheme they liked best, I told them to take into consideration the name of the magazine and also the target audience and music genre.
The most popular colours were grey/silver, black, white and purple. I had the idea of changing the colour purple to indigo for obvious reasons, I thought it would be a good link from the title to the colour scheme. My three main colours are there going to be grey/silver, indigo and then alternate between black and white depending what I use this colour for. I think this scheme is good as it creates a sense of professionalism and class and the indigo is nice touch of colours so it isn't too dull and boring. After doing my research on indie and singer/songwriter artists and bands I have seen that they are usually represented in a calm manner rather than being represented like how their music sounds. They are represented by their personalities and what they wear than what type of music they make (This links to Dyers star theory) and therefore I want the cover of my magazine to have a very clean fresh look to it.
