Possible Magazine Titles

I have chosen to create a magazine with a house/dance genre and therefore I need to choose a title which fits the music type and suits the target audience. I created a mind map of my initial ideas and then chose the 6 which I liked the most and thought would suit the magazine best.

My original ideas:

My options:

(Dance Music Central) I feel this would be appropriate for my music magazine because the initials make it a catchy name, and the full title is simply summarising the fact that this magazine would provide information on all good house/dance music. 



This is obviously appropriate for the magazine genre, and I like it because it lets a reader know immediately the type of music the magazine is promoting, and it's short so therefore more memorable. 



This word is musically related and I like it for my magazine title because it immediately implies to the reader that the magazine has a musical theme. 



I feel spin would be a good title for my magazine because house/dance music is played by DJs who use decks, therefore it applies to the method of playing this genre of music.



This magazine would be a mixture of all types of house/dance music and therefore this name reflects that there is a variety of styles within the magazine, and it is not restricted to one style within the genre. 




House/dance music is commonly favoured in clubs and at gigs (locations where strobe lights may be used) therefore this name reflects an aspect of life that many dance music fans may lead. 



Feedback:

Lucy, 16 - " I like the name DMC best because its short and therefore will be easier to remember."

James, 16 - " I think that the name House is good but maybe a bit too basic, because although thats what your magazine is focused on, it's a bit obvious."

Charlotte, 16 - " DMC is my favourite out of these because it summarises what the magazine is about, while still only having a short name by using the initials. The shorter the name is the easier it is to remember."

Harry, 17 - " I like the name Strobe and House because they are simple, and would instantly make me think of this genre of music."

Natalie, 22 - " I like DMC because other names like decibel and strobe just don't sound catchy, whereas the three letter initials make it easily identifiable, and because they are easy to pronounce together, it's catchier and more memorable."

Danni, 21 - " I think that Spin and DMC are the best names in this selection due to the fact that spin is very well connected to the physical act of how this genre of music is played, and DMC is able to have a longer name which fully represents what's within the magazine, yet it has a short, snappy title."

Becca, 17 - " I prefer the name House because it sounds cool and I can quickly identify which genre of music the magazine is promoting."

Ellie, 17 - " My favourite from this list is DMC and my least favourite is Fusion. Fusion sounds a bit cheesy to me." 

Emma, 19 - " Personally I like both House and DMC, but if I had to choose one it would probably be DMC just because I know that I could remember that easily, and  like how it has an extended name as well."

Kirsty, 20 - " I think Spin is the best name because I don't know any magazines with a name similar to that, and it instantly makes me think of DJ's and therefore dance music."
