Final Piece Plan

Title for the magazine:
Within my research, I found that NME and Kerrang! were the two most popular magazines. Therefore, I’ve decided to imitate Kerrang!’s name. Apparently, the magazine was so named because it’s the sound of a power chord being played on a guitar.
• Bang!
• Smash!
• Twang!
• Rip!
• Crash!
I’ve decided on Crash! as the sound of a China cymbal on a drum kit.

Presentation of the Title:

I’ve decided to use the third design as it’s clear and still has the visual representation of the magazine’s attitude and tone.
