8. Judgments and decisions!
Over this presentation I have been looking at possible colour schemes using a website
which generates colour schemes.
When looking into my colour schemes I first had to think what colours suit and
complemented my magazine style. My magazine styles is indie so therefore I believe
oranges, yellows and greens etc would not be a suitable colour choice. This is
because it would not attract my target audience meaning the magazine would not
sell.
I started to look at pinks and purples for my magazine. However when looking at pinks I
believe some where to bright and girly, meaning that as a result I could end up
targeting girls more than boys. Another problem with the pinks been to bright could be
that it would suit a magazine with the genre of pop better.
I then started to look at dark shades of purple which I believe began to suit my genre
more efficiently. On slide five is my favourite colour scheme involving purple I believe
it suits my genre and appeals to both male and female readers. I also believe that the
dark purple shows an air of professionalism.
However to make sure I had looked into all my options I looked into colour schemes
involving blue. These colours where good and could have worked effectively,
however I believe that the purple tones would work better and apply easier to both
males and females.
To go with the tones of purple I think I will also use black and white colours. I also believe
if it is needed then I shall use sliver.
