1. This magazine has a typical colour palette of three
colours, which in this case are red, black and white.
The black colour represents power and stability,
which links with the image used as Cheryl Cole
comes across as being in control. Red also shows
passion and love and links with the sort of music
that she produces. White is also a good colour that
attracts attention and also signifies purity, which
shows the magazine houses pure content.
2. The black text on this magazine again
demonstrates power, and also grabs the readers
attention as it protrudes from the page. The
blue colour represents peace and tranquillity,
whilst the white font again attracts the reader,
with the white typography illustrating purity.
A blue background is used which could
again represent peace and tranquillity
and could portray the magazine having a
chilled vibe. White again shows purity
and could perhaps show that the
content and the artists focused on are
pure and original. The yellow colour
could represent fun and would suggest
the magazine is exciting to read.
3. If I was to create my own music magazine of an alternative style I
would have these colours. The music involved in my magazine
would be quite peaceful, and therefore the blue links in with the
theme of peace and tranquillity. The white would be used to stand
out and grab attention, whilst representing purity and the fact that
the magazine would house proper information. The yellow would
also be used to grab the readers eye and to stand out from the
blue background, it would also portray hope and happiness which I
hope my magazine would give.
If I was to create a rock magazine I would use the colours of red, black and
yellow. The red colour connotes violence and could represent blood, the
black colour portrays power and darkness, with the yellow connoting
danger- all of these features fitting in with the genre and style of rock. The
black would mainly be used as the background, as it allows the other
colours to stand out in the foreground. The red shade would mainly be used
for titles/cover lines, with the yellow fonts accompanying them in the form
of sub-cover lines.
