Magazine Name and Type Style.

With the type style of my magazine masthead I want it to be something that really sticks out and is eyecatching to the audience. I want something bold and bright that people will immediately recognise if they happen to be walking by. I want it both curvy and rigid so that it is clearly aimed to and suites for both male and female target markets.

With the name I would like it to be very memorable. I want it to stick out in someone's mind and be short, punchy and quick so that it has a snappy kick to it. I want the name to relate not just to the subject of the magazine that week but to the student life as a whole. I would like to be able to change the colour of the masthead to connotate the theme of the magazine that week. For instance the front cover that I have designed the masthead is blue (the same blue as on the Wyke polo shirt) to connotate sport and masculinity to promote males reading the magazine as well as females.

I could so many subjects in my magazine but I would like to do a front cover to do with sport or photography. I would like this to be the theme of my magazine but only for that week so I want the name to be something very general. Ideas for this could include 'college life', 'speak!' Or 'student voice' for example. I think these would be good general names for my magazine and this would generalise the college life and give the reader little bursts of topics within college life with every issue.

I would like the name of the magazine to be in capitals, this is because I have chosen the name 'SPEAK!' so this connotates shouting and speech.
