Our Media Studies class has recently been working on planning for our magazine, such as researching examples of magazine tables of contents (last week). As such, we are currently brainstorming magazine names that fit our final magazine genre. We can eventually use these magazine name ideas to sketch a cover for our magazine, for instance. All three of the images in this post are from Google.
The following are potential magazine name ideas that fit the genre of my final magazine (Cooking, Food, and Beverage):
Bake Me Happy:
I created this title to express the mood of my magazine. “Happy” has a positive connotation which implies a lighthearted tone and evokes a specific audience. Such word choice is persuasive as it indicates that you will be in a good mood after baking the recipes in my magazine.
Baked With Love:
I wrote a title with specific words to appeal to a particular audience. More specifically, “love” signifies delicacy, thoughtfulness, femininity, and care. The following mood will affect my target audience as it indicates femininity and how my recipes are homemade and well thought out.
Fresh Outta the Oven:
The desserts that I will share in my magazine will require an oven. For this reason, I mentioned it in the title to clearly state the types of desserts one may find in my magazine. I also wanted to create a catchy name, hence the use of alliteration with “Outta the Oven.” “Outta” is slang, leading to slight informality; one may be more willing to read it if the tone is friendly. "Fresh" also has a positive connotation, thus depicting the quality and temptation of my recipes.
Baked to Perfection:
I brainstormed magazine titles that use strong words to appeal to my audience. Likewise to various other titles of mine, “Perfection” has a positive connotation and indicates my magazine's attention to detail and professionalism. All the while, it targets an audience that desires fancier, gourmet, and thorough desserts. It is significant to mention that this name is taken in book form (by Katarina Cermelj). However, it isn’t yet the name of a magazine.
Dessert O'Clock:
The word “o’clock” suggests the time dedicated to something. In this case, my magazine is based solely on desserts. Consequently, this name describes my topic in a more playful tone. “O’Clock” is a common phrase in everyday conversation, leading to slight informality. Those who prefer a more easygoing and casual style would be more interested in reading this magazine subsequently. It is worth noting that I wanted a magazine name that is easy to pronounce; this two-word name flows easily and is simple yet effective.
All Things Dessert:
“All Things Dessert” instantly conveys the purpose of my magazine genre, such that it exclusively focuses on dessert and not food in general. For this reason, it is easier for the readers to comprehend its purpose at first glance; less confusion allows for more interest.
Caught Dessert-Handed:
“Caught red-handed” inspired me to create this magazine name. It is a compelling phrase that most people can recognize. This common phrase has a playful tone, making my magazine more persuasive for my target audience to read. It is also unique and to the point, allowing for a clear interpretation of the topic.
Life is Sweet:
My thinking behind this particular magazine name is that life should be sweet and even sweeter with baking. This phrase is persuasive since it indicates that one’s life will be sweet—or pleasurable, in a literal sense—if one indulges in my dessert recipes.
Bake It Up With a Teen:
My thought process behind this name was that if teens were one of my target audiences, this title would directly interest them as they could easily relate to my age range. This title may further inspire individuals since it indicates the capabilities of a teen; adults mostly create magazines.
Ready, Set, Bake:
My inspiration behind this title is the common phrase, “ready, set, go.” Not only that, but The Great British Bake Off show inspired me as it uses “On Your Marks, Get Set, Bake” to let the bakers know the competition has begun. In other words, it is a captivating and attention-grabbing term that may intrigue my audience to consider reading my magazine. Although this name is available in the book (by Sienna Waters), it isn’t the name of a magazine.
Out of my ten magazine title ideas, my top three are “Fresh Outta the Oven,” “Dessert O'Clock,” and “Ready, Set, Bake!” since they most effectively represent the purpose of my magazine. They are also short and to the point, attention-grabbing, and easy to pronounce.
