colour schemes

Here are some colour schemes that I have put together to see which one I like the best. I have chose colours that I will represent my magazine whether it is going to be indie or pop. I think the bright the colours the magazine will stand out more. My favourite at the minute is the 3 top colours. I think that these stand out because they are running colours of the same colour but just getting darker.

Throughout my magazine I will keep the colours consistent, this will give it a professional feel as the pages would all be linked. I like the first colour scheme because it is a good group of colours at it was stand out to boys and girls. If I was to have just a pink colours scheme then I think only girls would be attracted to my magazine. I think that the first colour and the last colour on this scheme would stand out the most because the first and last colour will contrast each other because they are the lightest and darkest colours of blue and they will be bright to the customer.

I also like the second colour scheme as well because it goes from a very light purple or blue, this is good because they tie in and they flow from colour to colour. This will also link in with what ever genre I do out of indie or pop. But I don’t think this would appeal to boys that much because they don’t really like the colours purple.

I don’t like the third colour scheme because it is a bit dull and when it is on the shelf the magazine won’t stand out. This isn’t good as it wouldn’t catch the customer’s eye or attention. On the other hand, the colours would relate to the genre of indie. I think that if I did use this colour scheme then more boys would buy it then girls. This is because girls don’t really like the colour black and grey. I also think that the colours would represent that the magazine is dull because it has no bright colours on their at all.

The forth colour scheme is ok and would look good on a magazine called heat. This is because the colours represent fire. This could also represent that the band is fiery and very good but like singing very loud, they get very heated when they are singing. I think that this colour scheme would go more with the genre of rock. I also think that this colour scheme would appeal to every gender this is because both girls and boys like these colours. This would mean that I would have a big customer base as both boys and girls would be buying my music magazine.

The final colour scheme isn’t very nice because the colours don’t flow at all. The one thing that is good about it is that the colours are bright so they would stand out on the magazine cover. Also the colours would only be likes by girls and not boys. This is because boys don’t like the colour pink or purple and sometimes they don’t like bright colours. I don’t think that I will be using this colour scheme even though it would be good if I did a pop magazine.
