The magazine cover uses pink, white and black colors with the pink masthead signaling it is a female magazine aimed at teenage girls. The sell lines around the magazine are also in pink and white to match the target audience. The house style of another magazine uses black, red and white colors which are masculine, aiming for males from mid-teens to mid-twenties. The red can mean love or danger while the main image looks intimidating. A rock/metal music magazine also includes white, red, yellow and black colors where yellow and black mean danger like a warning and red also means danger, while white makes the writing stand out.

Colour palettes
The house style of this magazine is black red and white. These
colours put together are very masculine therefore makes the
target audience mainly males of mid teens, to mid twenty’s. The
red connotes either love or danger, but in this case I would say it
connotes danger as the main image is very intimidating.
This magazine is a rock/metal genre therefore includes all the expected colours. The
main colours are white, red, yellow and black. Yellow and black are the same colours
used on a warning sign therefore together connotes danger and ‘beware’ and the red
also connotes danger. The white makes the writing stand out against the red, yellow
and black.
