Name of Magazine

Looking at rock music magazines, i have come to realise that the names of them are all quite weird and unique. For example, Kerrang, NME and Q.
Initially, i thought that i'd have liked to call my magazine something music related. For example, for my prelim, the name of the magazine was "pulse". My group and i chose this for the name because it refers to the beat in a song.
Here were a few of my choices i thought off for my magazine:
- Crescendo
- Dynamic
- Forte
After considering these as the title of my magazine, i realised that they don't sound very rocky, and decided i'd try to think of something that sounds a bit more edgy and snappier.
After a while of thinking about it, i narrowed it down to these three choices for the name of my magazine:
- Mosh
- Amplify
- Element

I eventually decided that i wanted "Element" as my magazine name, because sounds punchy. You could also argue "element" refers to metals, which relates to metal music. I decided against "mosh" because it sounds too short and wouldn't look right on the page, and i decided against "amplify" because it sounds somewhat predictable.
