Initial Ideas

I chosen to do a music magazine within the genre of jazz and have started to think of several ideas for a name for my jazz music magazine, some I came up with by using a Thesaurus  to generate alternative words for Jazz:

• Dixieland
• Bebop
• Blues
• Boogie
• Boogie-woogie
• Bop
• Fusion jazz
• Hot jazz
• Improvisational music
• Jive
• Ragtime
• Swing
• All That Jazz (well-known jazz influenced song from the musical Chicago)
• Sway (famous song)
• The Jazz Singer (a old "talkie" film from 1927)
• HHR (Hot Honey Rag) - (well-known jazz influenced song from the musical Chicago)

Jazz Musicians
Louis Armstrong
Chuck Mangione
Tony Bennett
Pat Boone
Nat King Cole
Perry Como
Michael Buble
Ella Fitzgerald
Billie Holiday


The idea for the band to be called "White Rabbit" symbolises a reference to the past they are a jazz band heavily influenced by the past and the things that take them back to the height of jazz. Just like the white rabbit in Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland leads Alice into the world that she dreams of. The band White Rabbit takes the lead vocalist into an era where jazz was sensationally popular.

I looked at this image when trying to think of what I wanted my front cover to look like. I love the use of colour and how her red hair and fair complexion really draw you into her making a striking image.

I liked this image as an inspiration for an Alice in Wonderland style photo. She looks well-dressed, but is stood in the middle of a wood suggesting that she is lost in another place just like Alice was.

In this image I like the use of excessive flowers and how they potentially dominate the room and a majority of the image, but despite this you are still drawn to her clothing which is what the image is promoting.
