Masthead Dilemma

It's hard coming up with a title for your magazine, especially when ALL YOUR IDEAS ARE ALREADY TAKEN!!!! That was an exaggeration, we did come up with titles that are unique and new. Here are some titles that we brainstormed:

• Alive 
• Endurance 
• Energy 
• Tolerance 
• Strength 
• Maximize 
• Stamina 
• Strategy 
• Well-Being 

We all really liked the sound of Endurance, but sadly it's already a magazine. It seemed nearly impossible to decide on a title, until we finally agreed on MAXIMIZE!! After doing research about genre conventions, we came to the conclusion that our masthead will be a bold red color since red conveys passion, strength, power, and sensuality. These connotations go hand-in-hand with the genre and portray the target audience's wants.
Fun fact: The color red is most highly associated with people making quick decisions (like buying a magazine!!)
