Colour Scheme ideas, Name ideas and Feature Story ideas

Colour scheme choices I like this colour scheme because all of the colours are bold and stand out. These colours are the same colours used by Rolling Stone magazine which could be a problem as my magazine follows a hip hop/R&B genre and Rolling Stone correlates more with the rock genre. I like this colour scheme because the colours compliment each other and the fuchsia and the gold are frequently associated with R&B music, however, the pink may not be associated as much with hip hop which is what most of my feature stories are about.   I like this colour scheme because it is similar to the first one but it uses a dark pink/purple instead of the red, adding a more original look but still standing out and complementary colours. The pink used in this may also take the attention off the hip hop genre which is the only thing I don't like in this colour scheme. I like this colour scheme because all of the colours are complimentary and all go well together. I don't think this would be a good colour scheme for a R&B/hip hop music magazine because the colours are too bright. I also used this colour scheme for my college magazine which would also show that it may not be the right choice. I like this colour scheme because the black, white and yellow/gold are all colours frequently used in my chosen genre making them a good selection of colours for my magazine, the gold also stands out and is eye catching making it a good colour scheme. The only problem with this is that it is a little boring because it only uses one main colour.   Potential names plugged - I like this name because it gives the impression that the audience is 'plugged' into the magazine and the genre. B-boi - I think this is a good name because it is a style of dance associated with hip hop and people who like this genre will recognise this. urban - this would make a good name because it is a word used to describe the culture and location of a high percentage of my audience. B.I.G - I like this because it is associated with Biggie Smalls who is one of the main artists associated with this genre. juicy - i like this because it gives the impression that there is alot of information in the magazine and is also a reference to the song 'juicy'. bars - i think this is good because hip hop songs are generally divided into different bars of rapping. It is also short and snappy making it good for the name of a music magazine. bronx - in my opinion this is a good name for a music magazine because it is a famous location in New York which is where the hip hop culture originated. cult - A cult is a certain group of people/social group which is a good magazine name because many different social groups come from the hip hop and R&B culture. Notorious - associated with Biggie, bringing many fans of the genre together. phunk - this is a play on the word 'funk' which is a music genre associated with the creation of hip hop. Chosen magazine name Notorious i like this name for my magazine because it originates from one of the greatest hip hop artists of all time. It is associated with Biggie Smalls who is a hip hop legend and my target audience will recognise this, showing the link from Notorious to a hip hop music magazine. Hip hop has always been seen as a genre with a lot of bravado and an outlook on society which people may not be able to reach, making it as popular as it is. It pushes boundaries making it notorious throughout the genres. I think it would make a good name for my magazine because of these factors.
