MAGAZINE COVER NAMES

 Hi,

In this blog, I will be posting the journey to finding the cover names and the name for my project.

EUPHORIA

This is the name I have chosen for my project. The reason for this is because of it is meaning which is: ''Derived from the Greek word for healthy, the word euphoria is now used to describe an intense feeling of happiness or elation. A sense of euphoria may be the result of a fortunate turn of events or an indescribable personal high.'' and I think that this is the exact purpose of my theme and magazine covers. To give people a happy moment and make them feel intense by looking at the unrealistic, futuristic covers. But not only that, another reason why I got so inspired to use this as my project name is because of a series called "Euphoria" in which the colour purple is highly being used and also lots of creative make-up looks which I always used to recreate.

HALLUCINATE

This is the first name I thought about, the inspiration comes from not so far! I got inspired by music...again. I was listening to Dua lipa while working on my project and then I heard the word "Hallucinate" and looking at the images and the theme that I got I thought that it would be a great fit. So, I decided to use Hallucinate as one of my cover's name.

GODFIDENCE

This isn't necessarily a word that is inspired by but more of a made-up word. When I was thinking of the theme and looking at the photographs I was thinking of women then power, confidence, goddesses... and then I decided to make up the word GODFIDENCE which represents the cover and women the best. However, later on, I realised that I was not the first one to come up with the name. 

TELEPATHY

Once again, I got inspired by music. While listening to my current favourite song by Khali Uchis which's name is Telepatia I really liked the word Thelepatia so I decided to use it as it fits with the cover and the theme. But I translated it to English which is very similar: "Telepathy".

FAZED

When I was thinking about the magazine that inspired me the most which are "dazed" I was thinking of a word that is similar to dazed. Then I thought about fazed (to surprise and worry someone) and so, I decided to use it.

FLAWSOME

Flawsome. Something that is totally awesome, but not without its flaws. This is another why crossed by while I was looking for the word Godfidence. I really liked the meaning behind it and thought that this would be an inspiring name for a cover so, decided to use it. Everyone has their flaws but that's what makes us awesome and unique!

DEJA-VU

Would you be surprised if I told you that I got inspired by music again? Well, I got inspired by music again... While listening to Olivia Rodrigo' song Deja-vu I once again saw the name deja-vu popping up on the magazine cover so I decided to use it because of how well it fits the theme and cover.
