I started to think of ideas of what my masthead will say and look like. In many magazines the masthead is either the dominant feature on the front cover or it is cropped behind the photo. I think my masthead will be slightly hidden by my photo.
I've been thinking of what my magazine should be called. I've been researching other school magazines but decided that if I named mine "Wyke" or something like that it would be too obvious.
I used an online thesaurus to get some ideas for names.
First, I typed in college and got institution. This gave me the idea of calling my magazine institute but the disadvantage of this is that it sounds too formal.
I then typed in the word knowledge. Attitude seemed like a good idea but it didn't show the ideology of my magazine.
With the word teach I came across a few other words that may be suitable. The word enlighten or enlightened seemed suitable as it gives the impression that the magazine is informative.
I also toyed with the idea of having an abbreviated name similar to NME which is an abbreviation of New Musical Express. For example I could call my magazine Knowledge Express but abbreviate to KE.
Mastheads should be instantly recognisable and so mine should have a defining feature.
