Choosing a Masthead

Every magazine needs a masthead, whether it is magazine on food or music, therefore I wanted mine to stand out and be different from all the others, hence the indie genre. For this task we were asked to find the names of similar music magazines that are published and are popular already and from there we found synonyms of the words in order to pick our favourite that we, and our peers liked most.  The title that I picked, Margin, come from the word borderline, which is a music magazine that has an individual genre. There were other mastheads that stood out to me such as "recounter," and involuted but after much thought and some audience feedback from some peers, I found that "Margin" was the name that worked the most. It's unique to other titles and therefore reinforces the indie genre in being different to everything else. This concept would then create more sales on my behalf due to the fact that when the public would see Margin on the shelves in the shops, they would understand that it would be different from any other magazine surrounding it and would coincidentally make more money.
