Colour scheme ideas, Name ideas and feature story ideas

NAME IDEAS
Metal music is known for being raw and heavy so using the name RAW is snappy and fits the genre.




Metal is considered to be the opposite of pop so naming as such could be a good idea.


Some people who listen to metal are considered outcasts so to add something extra it should be spelt with a K rather than a C.


Many metal bands and songs are focused on the idea of hell so the magazine could also be focused on this.


Metal music is closely linked with screaming within the songs and so it would be good iconography to name the magazine the same way.
                                           
                   











FEATURE STORY IDEAS
Royal Blood- As they were mentioned the most in my survey it would make sense to have them as a feature story in the magazine.
Slipknot- They are an iconic band in the metal genre so again it would make sense to include them.
Topic of the stories- For the bigger bands I could mention a world tour and for the artist(s) that will appear on the front cover it could talk about their rise to fame. It could also talk about a new album/single release that has found success.
Motionless in White- They are a band that is growing in popularity at the moment and so using them would work well.
Bring Me The Horizon- They have recently released a new album so a feature story could be used to talk about that.

Metal Hammer magazine uses a colour scheme of red black and white as those are the main colours associated with the metal genre. This then made me think of making my magazine have a similar colour scheme. For example using the red, black and white or using darker variations of other colours like yellow or blue.
