When I was considering my magazine title I simply searched ‘country’
into the thesaurus Google which gave me many words to consider using as my
title. The final two titles that I couldn’t decide between were ‘Countrified’
and ‘Outland’. I agreed that they were both good titles for a country magazine
that would show audiences what the magazine was offering and clearly show what it
is about. Finally I decided that ‘Countrified’ would be the most effective title
for my magazine as it describes the rural and rustic theme I am trying to
convey with in my magazine.
