Final Major Project- Title

Decisions, decisions, decisions! Deciding on a name for my shows has been one of the hardest things for my mind to think about for a long long time!
I need something that will do the following:

  • GRAB peoples attention!
  • Give them a UNDERSTANDING as to what the programmes will be about
  • WANT them to watch it!
Making all these things happen when a person sees a simple, snappy and short title to a programme is extremely hard.
I want something which is quick off the tongue, gets to the point and will make students think they could learn something whilst enjoying themselves.

Some titles I have come up with so far include:
  • A Scoop of Student Cooking
  • Cooking up a Student Storm
  • Student Sizzlers 
  • Sizzling up a Storm
I think these titles give a good understanding as too what my programmes will be about, but at the same time I do not want to just appeal to students. I would ideally like people of all ages to watch, but if this cannot be achieved then an age range of around 14- 28 years old. So having the word 'student' in the title could possibly segregate the viewing audience and put people who aren't students off just by seeing the name.

I have also been doing some research into cookery names. You do not get a cookery show (that has been extremely successful) that is anymore then 4 words long. 

                                     For example:
Come Dine With Me
Ready Steady Cook
British Bake Off
River Cottage Bites
MasterChef
