The document discusses potential color schemes for a music magazine, analyzing the suitability and effectiveness of red, black, grey, and blue. Red would be a bold color that grabs attention. Black implies power and authority but may not stand out as much as red. Grey has a calm, cool quality and works well paired with other colors. Blue represents excellence and high quality, and could provide a relaxed feeling for readers. The author considers how these different colors may work within the magazine's masthead, cover lines, photos, and overall color scheme.

1. Colour Scheme
I will look at multiple colours and say how they may or may not
suit my theme, and how the colours are effective.

2. Red
Red in probably one of the most popular colours that is
used in a music magazine today. For example: It is
used in the mastheads for NME, Q, Rolling Stone and
Billboard. The colour is generally associated with
happiness, celebration and love. And on top of that it
is also seen as one of the colours that stand out from
the rest, and grabs peoples attention due to how bold
and bright it can be, (depending on the shade). This
explains why all of the above magazines are s popular,
because they use the colour red. In my magazine I will
use this shade, whether it is for the masthead, cover
lines or for part of the photos.

3. Black
Black is the next colour that I am considering to use
in my magazine. Black is another one of those
popular colours, however I think its not as popular
as red. Black is generally put next to other colours
to make them stand out, (But this would only work
for brighter colours, not colours like burgundy and
purple). The colour is mostly associated with power
and authority, which could imply that if you use the
colour black, then your magazine would stand out
from the rest and almost have more popularity, (as
long as the rest of the content is up to scratch).

4. Grey
Grey is a colour that you don’t always see in a
magazine, but when you do you will most likely
see it in a black and white photo. This is because
it more of a shade rather than an actual colour.
The shade reminds me of some of the indie bands
as they have used the colour grey in their album
cover, so it can be associated with coolness,
reflection and conformity. What I mean by this is
that it can have a slight calmness about it as well
as it looking good with every other colour. Overall
due to the colour going well with multiple
different colours, I think it would going well with
my magazine colour scheme.

5. Blue
Blue is the last colour that I am considering to use
for my music magazine. I picked this one as I have
used blue gels in my photos, so this colour will be
incorporated into the magazine mainly through
the photos. When we think of the word blue, we
generally think of excellence, high performance,
loyalty and faithfulness. In terms of a music
magazine this is interpreted as it always being a
high standard magazine that had high quality
information and features inside. As well as that, I
think that the colour blue has a slight calmness
about it, which could make people feel relaxed
when reading the magazine.
