Experimenting With Different Titles

For the title of my magazine, i wanted to make sure that it was fun and catchy, so that students could relate to it. I wanted it to be all one word so it stuck in the readers mind and was simplistic, but eye catching. I wanted to base my title around something to do with 6th form college and these are the ideas that i came up with:

'FortisRead'

This title i felt was effective because not only does it have part of the school name in the word but it also includes 'read' suggesting there is a lot to learn about in the product and that it is highly informative. Having the title relate back to the school itself, encourages students to learn more about their own environment and exactly whats going on in and around sixth form. However i felt that the two words 'fortis' and 'read' didn't flow particularly nicely together and that there were other potential names that would sound better and attract readers more.

'Weekly6TH'

I felt that this title was effective as it showed how often issue's of the magazine are published, so the readers know that all the information is significant and up to date with the sixth form. The 'TH' in '6TH' i chose to have in capital letters to show the sixth form students status, they are the older students of the school and therefore have a slightly higher status to the rest of the pupils in the school. Although i like this catchy title, i wanted the title to be related specifically to the Fortismere sixth form, and this title didn't portray anything particularly unique about Fortismere.

'TETHERDOWN WEEKLY'

This was my favourite This was my favourite possible title. I decided to include 'Tetherdown' in the title, this makes the product unique as Fortismere's school sixth form is called 'The Old Tetherdown Block' as it is located on 'Tetherdown Road'. I knew that no other local school would have this name in it's magazine title and felt that it gave the 6th form an interesting and different quality. Again by adding the 'weekly' in the title, readers were informed of how often issue's of the product were produced. The only disadvantage of this product is that if readers were unaware of exactly what relation 'Tetherdown' and 'Fortismere' have they may not understand the meaning behind the name.
