Initial Magazine Name Ideas
As I am creating an Indie Style magazine I understand that I need to think of a name that either represents or catches the audiences attention. For example the well known magazine 'Kerrang' was named after the sound of a chord on an electric guitair- this represents their magazine/ audience as it focuses on rock style music.
First Ideas:
I made a mindmap to allow me to think of ideas for the name/ logo of my music magazine. I began by thinking of names that could relate to it's genre of Indie and came up with:
INP (Indie Music News)
MIMN (Monthly Indie Music News)
LIMN (Latest Indie Music News)
However, I did not like these as the words were not easy and catchy to say. I believe that magazines with catchy names are well remembered and so people will be more likely to read them.
Final Idea:
My final idea was to keep the name simple and abbrievate it to 'NIMM' which would stand for 'New Indie Music Magazine'. The word NIMM can be said easily unlike the other ideas I first had. The well known magazine 'NME' inspired me to do this and I think it is quite simple but effective.

Final Magazine Logo
After experimenting with the different logos on drafts of my magazine cover, I decided to use this logo as my final logo. I believed that the simplicity of it allowed the other features of the front cover stand out and not 'look too much'.
I then chose a text for the title of the magazine that I would place underneath the main logo:
1)
2)
3)
I decided that number 3 suited the magazine cover best.
