I have chosen to use the title RPM because old style music records are making a comeback in the 21st Century with 3.5million units sold in the United States within the niche market in one year. RPM refers to how many revolutions per minute the record went round the turntable so LP's (33rpm) took longer to play than singles (45rpm) because they were bigger discs and contained the equivalent of a CD today whereas a single only included one track. LP (long-play) records were popular - they went round at the speed of 33.33 recurring rpm and were the equivalent of a CD today, it could play for a maximum of 45 minutes - as well as single records - which went round at the speed of 45 rpm and consisted of a single track which could last up to 3 minutes.
This name for my magazine is appropriate because I want my magazine to sound and look professional compared to other magazine name choices such as 'Noize' which does not relate to the music industry at all and seems very amateur; which would not appeal to the niche audience. I like the choice of RPM and will experiment with possible fonts, effects and colours to make it look as good as possible.
