A title is a big decision. It sets the tone and will appear everywhere. On the cover, the contents, the website (if I had one). I spent some time brainstorming words that capture the mood I’m going for.
I considered:
VOID - dark, mysterious, alternative.
DRAWN - suggests art, character design, being drawn to something.
RESET - gaming and life.
STYLE SUBCULTURE - clear but a bit long and plain.
KAOS - chaotic, creative, loud, void, originating from Greek.
FRAME - could refer to games (frame rate), art (frame a picture), or photography.
AMALGAM - means a mixture of different things, which fits my hybrid idea.
NOISE - music and visual chaos.
As of now without having done my magazine layout, I'm most drawn to DRAWN, KAOS, FRAME, and AMALGAM.
I’ll keep this list and let it sit. I might combine two words, like VOID NOISE or DRAWN FRAME. The title should feel authentic to me and easy to design as a masthead. I’ll layout some masthead designs soon along with trying different typography.
