Once I had decided what I wanted my genre to be which is pop, I created a brainstorm on what I believed pop music to be all about to help me decide a name for my magazine. The names in which I had come up with where POP; the music thats in! , 1,2,3 POP, out with the old..., and pops the music.
First of all I thought 1,2,3 POP would be a fun, and funky name however it made me think of bubbles which are fairly girly and wouldnt be a mixed gender magazine.
I then changed my mind to the idea of a magazine called "out with the old..." this was because I thought a good magazine should show both old and new pop artists and bands such as Madonna and Kylie Monoque, and new artists such as Nicole Scherzinger and Justin Bieber. I also chose this name as older pop music is completely different to new pop music, back in the 80's it was very girly and "hip" and funky, however nowdays its more lively and simplier. As well as that things such as style, haircuts and colours have changed alot over the last decade or two. I also thought that people would recognise the saying, I didnt use the whole saying as the title of my magazine would be too long.
When I had decided my magazine cover name I then searched for a style to use as my masthead I decided that I would like such as a simple design like Blender Masthead. It is a very plain and simple masthead which is easy to find when looking for it in a shop. This helped me to decide that I wanted slim block letters for my masthead.
Once I had decided what I wanted my magazine title to be like I tried a few ways of creating my title showing below.

example 3:
Once looking at these three title designs I decided to go with an origional font called century gothic as it shows a more "pop" feeling then the other two.
