Possible names for Wyke Magazine and article names:

The magazine names that I have thought of so far are quite generic and not that original; things such as Wyke News and News at Wyke.
I want to go for a magazine name that will stand out from other magazine titles that are available. Obviously it wont be a mainstream magazine but I need to choose something that makes the magazine known as a college magazine and not a celebrity magazine. The magazine title will also need to relate to the people who will be reading the magazine. The target audience for this college magazine is students of the magazine and possibly parents of the college students. For this reason, I will be adding in things in the contents that will relate to parents and students. For the parents, there will be an insight of what their child is doing in college in lunchtimes, and study periods, etc. and statistics (including exam results and coursework grades) with important dates for college such as open days and consultation evenings. The magazine should be important for Parents to read since most students probably wouldn't tell their parents about consultation evenings and things.
The other audience, students, will be the main target for this magazine and they are going to want to read it because, firstly, it is a free magazine, and, secondly, it will have everything that students need to know about what is going on for them around college such as the parties and events that are going on in college.


College article name ideas:


- 'Student views on the Oak Building'

- 'Have your say' - on the magazine and new building

- 'Student Life'

- 'Curriculum changes'

- 'Letter from the Headteacher'


College magazine name ideas: 


- Wyke at Wyke

- The Word at Wyke

- Wyke in Hand

I will also try to connect with the younger/student audience by making the magazine look younger with bright colours and large fonts but I don't want to do it in a patronising way like when publishers write in text talk. I know from talking to students that this is a big no no as it just annoys people because most people in college actually don't text or write like that anymore.
