Fonts for my film title

Fonts for magazine cover

Deciding on my film magazine name

After researching other film magazines in the media i noticed common conventions of all of these and decided to put these together in my own way to create my film magazine.
Firstly, i had to choose a name. I thought that it should reflect the film industry so that it would be easily recognisable as a film magazine by audiences. Therefore, i made a list of all different words that relate to film and key concepts of it that could eventually become the name of my magazine.
I decided to take these words and put them into a word cloud so that they would be easy to look at and displayed in an interesting way. So here is my word cloud:
I used the website tagxedo.com.
After looking at my word cloud for a bit and weighing up my options i decided to go with the word "Screen" for the title because it is fairly obvious and could be recognised easily enough as a film related word.
I also debated calling my magazine "Silver Screen" but decided that the extra word was unnecessary and I'd rather keep it short, similar to other popular film magazines (Empire, etc.).
