In this task I have researched the web to gain ideas for my school magazine title. I have searched for key terms which reflected the sixth form/college and inspired me to come up with such magazine titles. As the results of the research I have come up with the titles which we can see below:
The can'TEEN' Times
This is the first title I have come up with and by far the most successful. In my opinion this is my favourite title as by this I show the audience that the magazine relates to them as students and the school overall. This image of the magazine is created by the 'TEEN' standing out in the title by having it in bigger font style. This also shows that the students are significant for the magazine. Overall I will consider using this title for my magazine as I believe that by choosing this, my magazine will sound most familiar with my target audience and this title will create a 'joyful' image in the students head as we associate the canteen with socialising and peer interference. The newspaper which I have based my title on was "Sunday Times" as I have chosen to use similar wording.
Student Record
I have created this title to convey the idea of "following the students". This idea has been mostly created by the title having the word "Record". As a results of this, the magazine will be seen as a caring society. On the other hand the use of words in this title could have a negative meaning. By this, I mean that the students may think that the magazine is controlling them on every step of the day. Therefore I will not put this title forward to be used in my magazine.
For us, By us
The main aspect of this title was to show the students that the magazine is created by the school community for the school community. This means that the main purpose of the title was to show the students that the magazine has a very friendly and calm atmosphere as it is all created by the students peers. As a result of this title, the whole magazine would have a very close relation to the students, meaning that the magazine would contain content which can be seen by the students during their daily school life. This is the title which I could consider using apart from the "The can'TEEN' Times" as in my opinion, when we have a glance at this title we automatically think of the magazine being created especially by us with the most appropriate content.
Education Daily
This title has been by far inspired by the newspaper "Daily Express". The purpose of this title is to convey that the information would be kept up to date 'daily', showing the students the most interesting events.Additionally the title contains the word "Education" which as well conveys that the magazine could inform us about different revision, University application or even subject tips. I believe that this title is a suitable choice however it seems to be too mainstream. Therefore I would follow my decision and stay with my most favourite "The can'TEEN' Times" title.
Concluding from this task, I have came up with a suitable title such as "The can'TEEN' Times" to be used for my sixth form/college magazine. I have based my title on a suitable theme and additionally I have recognized the positive areas of my title which make it effective for my magazine.
