Masthead Ideas

Rainure - French for Groovy. Groovy is a synonym of style, which was the basis for my research. I thought Groovy in the English form was too informal and not what I was aiming for with my magazine. When thinking of other ideas, I came across the word Élan, which means spirit or enthusiasm, and decided to start looking for words in French. Hence why Rainue became one of my choices.

Another idea, and the one I ended up choosing, was La Vie. As a fan of the song La Vie En Rose, I already knew what it meant, and since I thought it would work quite well with my ideas for the magazine. Doing further research, I learnt that the phrase La Vie En Rose comes from a longer phrase "voir la vie en rose" which essentially means seeing life through rose tinted glasses... which is now my sell line.
