4. Simple colour scheme
Kerrang has a simple
colour scheme of black,
yellow and white.
Q magazine has a simple
colour scheme of red,
white and black.
NME has a simple
colour scheme of
Red, White and
Black.
A simple colour scheme consists of three or
four colours and it is never any more than
four.
5. Weekly magazines will have a template.
I have used Kerrang as an example for this as it is a weekly magazine, and when you look at
different contents pages you can see that the design is a consistent template.
