From the analysis of the existing magazine, it suggested that black and white were very popular colours to use on the front cover and throughout the magazine, I have decided that I would like to use the colours red black and white as the base colours of the magazine and add a touch of a brighter colour to make it stand out.
Red that is noticeable and connotes caution and warning signs which is generally associated with “Stop”, this colour would be good for catching the reader’s eyes.
Black mixed with other colours can often have a strong statement, working with the red, it will catch the reader’s attention and make lighter colours and images stand out.
White works well with black and red; it will also give the layout a clean finish. It is a very versatile colour just like the black which will go with almost any colour I end up choosing for the magazine.
Yellow is an energetic colour which will reflect on the genre of music included in the magazine, though yellow is difficult to read off a white background, it will stand out if used with the red and black. In one of the magazines I analysed, yellow was used with the red, black and white and gave a very effective strong look to the cover.
Lime green is a very bright colour that would stand out from the black and white. Similar to one of the magazines I analysed, I liked the idea of having the consistent colour with a pop of bright which made certain cover lines and pull quotes stand out within the page.
Electric blue is stereotypically a colour associated with males, as my magazine is aimed at males this colour would work nicely with the red, black and white as the pop of colour will make certain features stand out. Compared to the lime green and the bright yellow, it may not stand out from the black as much though I believe it will work with the base colour scheme I have chose.
