my analysis of a music magazine contents page

1. There is a key colour palette used throughout out the entire
contents page derivingof Reds, blacks,,blues and gold each with
its own uses and features.
Red within the contents page is used when highlightingkey words
or numbers as out of all of the colours itis the one that best
contrastthe silver background thatis beingused. Furthermore the
red is used as it is the signaturecolour of the magazine.
Black is used when borderingthe contents page intoits specific
regions (that andthe faint grey) linesalso.
This allows for clearlydefined borders that canhelpthe reader in
finding the specific part ofthe magazine theyare looking for.
Blues andgoldare onlyusedinthere specific regions unlike redand
blackthat canbe found inallof the articles this is because it allows
for the magazine to break upthe magazine byits specific subject
matter and use the colour to relate to a certain subject matter.
