I had originally thought for it to be "DIVA" in large, italic, pink capital letters. I know, I know, that sounds really corny. I don't really like that word all too much, but I could imagine it as a fashion magazine title. But, Hailey did not like this idea. Which is fine, we can always think of other things.
Hailey brought up the word "CHIC" and I liked it, and it also reminded me of the word "GLAM." That's when our friend Addisyn proposed that we do a single-syllable word. I like this idea. Then Hailey came up with the idea of using a word related to fashion, and then translating into a different language. Immediately I thought of French. French is the classiest and bougiest language that I can think of. So, I ran to google translate and started inputing random words related to fashion.
When I inputted the word "stylish" and it gave me "ÉLÉGANTE" which I thought was a perfect word. Hailey liked it as well. But we also agreed that we wanted a word that was almost generic, so that it could fit any category. If we used a word like "ÉLÉGANTE," it might make it seem like all the clothing would be classy and elegant, rather than having the freedom of variety. We wanted something like Vogue, something generic but also widely recognizable.
When I ran the word "Fashion" itself through the translator, I got "MODE." This, Hailey and I both agreed, was perfect. It's generic in a sense that it could mean anything, but it has a meaning behind it and is classy. I believe we're going to be settling on this name.
Now that we have a set name for our magazine, I will be doing some more research on the contents itself of the magazine. I did briefly cover this earlier when I was talking about the genre conventions of a magazine, but I never went in depth on what is in a feature article or in a content page. So, that will be the next step of the operation.
Thanks so much for tuning in, catch you later!
