The name I have chosen for my magazine is 'ICONOCLAST', I chose this because of the rebellious nature behind it which I feel is what indie and alternative music is like. The word 'iconoclast' actually means:
"One who attacks and seeks to overthrow traditional or popular ideas or institutions."
I wouldn't say that I believe that this genre of music is attacking anything, however I do feel as though indie music in particular sets out to challenge the views of modern music, especially chart music. In saying that though, I did just choose the name because I was generally inspired of how I wanted my magazine to look when I heard the name. I felt as though I could just picture that on the front of a magazine and it inspired me further to do more research and planning just for myself, which will be coming up on this blog soon. I want to look at as well the other meaning behind the name; "One who destroys sacred religious images." For this I have been inspired by stained glass windows and the colour palettes normally used on them and that has also sparked new ideas in my head that I will develop in the coming weeks.
I really like the sound of 'iconalast' I feel its strong and on the marketing shelf this will stand out, throughout your blog your research is well in depth and consistent, I cant wait to see what the final idea looks like! great work!
