Deciding the title :D
The time has come! This is it. I'm finally going to decide my precious magazine's name!
Here's the previous list of names that I had (I'll give a quick explanation of why I thought of each and why I'm going to choose whichever I choose):
1. Azucar Magazine: This name was the first one I ever thought of when I sat down to think about what kind of magazine I wanted to create. It's a fun, quick, catchy name, but its only downside is its Cuban-centered affiliation, and I'd rather have it focus on all kinds of cultures rather than just one. The name is supposed to be a homage to the iconic Celia Cruz.
2. Ritmo/Con Ritmo Magazine: This is still mine and my friends' favorite so far. It means "rhythm" in Spanish and suggests a playful, youthful title to a magazine of the same qualities.
3. Muevete Magazine: Just like "Ritmo," this title suggests movement (it literally means "move") and dancing, but this name sounds rather awkward and would come harder for non-Spanish speakers to pronounce.
4. Armonia: This word means "harmony," and I thought it went well with the magazine, but now not so much.
5. Melodia: This one means "melody" and rolls off the tongue easily, making it a light, likable title.
6. Nuestra musica: This one means "our music." It encaptures the vibe that I want my magazine to have: a multi-cultural, international that includes everyone because it's our music--our Latin, Hispanic music.
7. Sin etiqueta: This one was just a random thought and doesn't go too well with the magazine. It means "without a label."
8. Leyendas: This one means "legends," but it rather encaptures the feeling that a lifestyle and culture magazine would have. Regardless of my magazine's avid inclusion of several Hispanic and Latin cultures, it doesn't center around these, so it wouldn't be the best title to choose.
9. Mi Gente: "My people": a phrase and the title of the iconic song by J Balvin that became instantly popular and even encouraged Beyonce to collab on it. It's a great title, but I fear copyright lawsuits and my magazine being confused for lifestyle and culture with this title.
So, without further ado, which title triumphs over the others? DRUMROLL, PLEASE...
RITMO MAG!
