Identify my products corporate Identity.

genre of music as well as highlighting the target audience.

‘New Colour Swatch’. I then changed the colour
mode to ‘RGB’ which would give me the option of

green and blue. Because the products colour
scheme is : red, white and black, I chose red.
The masthead has now
been changed to the
colour red.
