Names For My Magazine

I have decided to do an RnB/ HipHop magazine

These are the names that I came up with for my magazine, but instead of choosing myself I am going to ask other people which name they prefer, to see other peoples opinions.

• Attitude
• Pulse
• Force
• Energy
• Spirit
• Soul
• Beat
• Bass

50% of the people I asked preferred 'Beat' as the name of my magazine, and the other 50% chose a mixture between 'Attitude' and 'Soul', so I have decided to name my magazine Beat, as it had the majority of votes.

Masthead Design

These are some the fonts I tried out for the masthead of my magazine.
I am going to use the top right font - Bauhaus 93 - as it looks the most modern out of them all and also links in more with the genre of my magazine. I decided against the bottom three as they are very thin writing and not bold enough for an RnB/Hiphop magazine, and the Forte font is to fancy and formal for the genre of my magazine.
