Starting to think about making our magazines and planning the lay out, I found that an aspect that has a lot of importance is the Masthead that appears on the front cover. It gives the magazine a sense of personality, for example, NME magazine mostly portrays rock artists and therefore could make the reader feel 'edgy' because of the title 'NME' and the fact that when this particular masthead is dictated by someone it sounds as if they are saying 'enemy.' Looking at this title made me realise that it would catch the consumers attention straight away. With this in mind, I made a spider diagram with some of the most successful titles of music magazines that are out there already that relate to my genre. After I wrote them down, I then found similar words to each title to see which masthead would have the most impact on an indie genre.

When I had finished shooting, I considered the names that each person said and came to a conclusion after a lot of thought that "Margin" would succeed in being a better name than any other. From doing this task, I found that different people like different things, and therefore one cannot make their magazine appeal to everyone. With this in mind, it is important to remember that in any magazine you would have to pick a targeted audience in order to sell the specific articles to.
