I am inspired by independent magazines, which are not trend/ advertisement based and do not solely deal in fashion. Independent magazines usually have more modern, eccentric and unusual names. I wanted my magazine name to capture some of these elements, but to also be predominantly simple and easy to read.
The process: I initially started with the idea of naming my magazine Sample,I didn't have a particular reason for chosen this name, apart from the meaning i gave it which was test, at that time I didn't want the magazine to be too serious, I wanted it to be relateable to young people. I came up with this name by playing around with different words. From this I changed the S to a 5, Just to make it more edgy, yet it's pronunciation would still remain the same.
I then realised that this may be quite difficult to pronounce, spell or even catch on, I also I had to decide whether the name of the magazine reflects what the magazine is about.
I came to the conclusion that most people's initial thought of my magazine is that it was named five ample.
From this I considered the name Ample, after searching up its meaning, which was sufficient, plenty, I realised that this was what I wanted my magazine to embody. I want my magazine to showcase content that is both entertaining as well as knowledgeable.
