The document discusses several color palettes and evaluates their suitability for use in an indie/alternative music magazine. The first two palettes featured darker colors with pops of bright red and light blue, which would work well for font colors. However, the next palette with bright yellows and dark purples creates too much contrast and is deemed unsuitable. Greens and pastels are also rejected as not fitting the magazine's simple but bold aesthetic. Blues may work for a male-focused magazine, while pinks and purples are more suited to girls' magazines. Of the options presented, white, grey, and a light grey are identified as clean, simple colors that could work well across different images in producing a bold visual statement

1. Colour palettes

2. These two colour palettes show a
variety of dark colours with a pop
of the bright red and light blue,
these two palates are colours that I
would consider putting within my
magazine maybe using these
colours for the font colours as they
are dark but statement and would
work well on a plain background or
placed over and image or coloured
block

3. The two colour palettes
shown are something that
would less likely be seen
featured within my indie
music magazine as the
bright yellows and dark
purples are a contrast and
wouldn't’t work well
within my magazine as I
am going for a very simple
but statement look I don’t
think the yellow or purple
or orange work tie in well
to make the magazine one

4. The colour palettes here
feature a lot of greens
and then a pop of pastel
colours, this is 100% not
something that would
feature within my indie
alternative music
magazine, but could be
seen in the likes of a pop
or even rock magazine
with the grungy looking
maroons and purples

5. The variety of blues on the
left hand side is something
that could be seen
featured within a magazine
that is based on the male
gender as different types
of blues are seen
stereotypically as ‘boys’
colours where as on the
right hand side you would
see the variety of pinks and
purples and associate
these with a girls pop
magazine, but from the
right hand side palette I
would consider using the
light grey colour as I think
this would work well with
my magazine

6. On the left hand side
the white and grey are
the two colours that I
would take out of that
palette and consider
using within my own
magazine as these are
very clean and simple
colours that can work
well with a variety of
images allowing me to
produce something that
I want to, on the other
side we have more beige
and pastelle colours
which I wouldn’t want
to include within my
magazine as I don’t
associate these types of
colours with magazine
colours, they wouldn’t
stand out enough and
wouldn’t produce
enough of a statement
