Name for the music magazine

These are ideas that I have come up with for a new, interesting and young folky magazine title.

Untamed      Wild: in a natural state; not tamed or domesticated or cultivated
Mellow         Laid-back: unhurried and relaxed; "a mellow conversation"
Major           Of greater importance or stature or rank; "a major artist"
Current         Occurring in or belonging to the present time; "current events"; "the current topic"
New wave    Any creative group active in the innovation and application of new concepts and techniques.
Pioneer         Someone who helps to open up a new line of research of art
Instant           Instantaneous: occurring with no delay
Raw              Being unprocessed or manufactured using only simple or minimal processes
Native           Characteristic of or relating to people inhabiting a region from the beginning
Unsung          Obscure: not famous or acclaimed, unappreciated, having value that is not acknowledged

So far my favourite name is Unsung because I want to make a magazine that is new and almost "unappreciated".

My school magazine cover

 This is my school magazine cover, I chose to colour the bricks in because it is the house style of the magazine and I want to keep those colours to make the magazine more relevant to Parkwood.
 If i changed it I would have moved the photo up because there is too much space by the title. I think that the purple stands out and I made a white border around the words because it makes it bolder, I also made a shadow behind the words so that it would make the words "pop out".
 I decided to make the photo a mid-long distant shot because I thought that the picture showed communication between the two people and I didn't have any mid distant shots that I really liked and that were appropriate for the cover.
 I didn't want to have too many words on the page because I think that it would look too studious and that wasn't the point of my school magazine.
 Overall I think it is an okay magazine but it is a good starter magazine that I can learn from and as a first attempt it is good.
