magazine names

1 safety pin - a safety pin in the punk era was iconic and mostly recognised as a music symbol by people of that time.

2 f**k off - an insult would draw the attention of my target audience as it shows controversy and the attitude it would present.

                                        

3 pretty vacunt - pretty vacant is the name of one of the sexpistols songs. only people who know the sexpistols would understand this therefore get a better feeling of the magazines attitude and what other genre's of music would be inside aswell. also the swear word hidden in the name

4 rat- associated with london drains and underground and they are dirty and do what they want. this sort of links to punk attitudes and how they are hated by society and don't care.

5 SCUM- punks dont really get insulted about much so they would quite like the insulting humour.

6 anarky- their whole motto of life evolved around anarchy. doing what they want when they want and relates to the song anarchy in the uk.

7 thatcher- Margret thatcher was the prime minister at the time of the punk era  and there was a lot of controversy between them. to have it as a magazine title is a bit of a risk as not often would a fan of punk want to buy anything to do with thatcher but might like its ambitious approach.

8 OI!- oi is a cockney way of getting someones attention. at the time a lot of punks from London had a cockney accent.

9 DYE!-punks put die in their hair and would link to their sometimes violent lifestyle.

10 dirty citizen- punks were presented as poor examples of the English citizen

11 suburbs-the suburbs are sort of where punk got really popular.  also there is a fmous song by the member called "sound of the suburbs"

12 bulldog-when you think bulldog you think of England london again. its just an iconic image.
