When coming up with the name of the magazine and brainstorming with my partner we wanted something short but that left a lasting effect.
Magazines like MAD short but iconic and simple
MAD magazine was and is (though less popular and original) a humor magazine who's demographic has always been targeted towards older kids to teens and young adults.
Upon further thinking on our title we realized we wanted our all capital letter title to be an acronym.
Thinking about the topics at hand and how to incorporate culture into my magazine we came up with F.O.O.D. meaning Florida's Objection Of Diets.
Florida being the location we are based in also if we cover any florida culture and spots (which is what my magazine is about a lot). Objection is a strong powerful word making it a little funny to be serious in that way appealing to younger age ranges. Diets the diets we are "objecting to" are not so much for health reasons or efficiency rather, toxic ideas of seeing food as a "calorie" or "goal" and not as a pleasure necessity and marker of culture.
Overall, I love the title we settled on, I think it's appropriate and a little silly which is the tone I want for my magazine.
