The document discusses font and color scheme choices for different elements of a music magazine, including the cover, contents page, and double-page spread. For the cover, the font Segoe Print was chosen to give a classic yet fun style that appeals to the target market of older, higher-class readers. On the contents page and flowing throughout, the font Niagara Solid is used because it is bold, clear, and grabs attention. The color scheme aims to be subtly eye-catching rather than bright like other pop magazines, using lighter pinks and purples to seem less tacky and appeal more to older females. Examples are provided of color schemes that could be used.

5. Colour scheme of others magazine
The colour scheme of my music magazine is going to be
subtle but eye catchy. I want it to stand out form the crowd
and be different. Normally pop music magazine are bold and
bright , which are more focused on they younger female
market. For example this ;
This pop magazine for example is bright colourful and in your face.
The medium close up of Brittany spears covers the hole front
cover which draws the attention straight to her. You can clearly tell
its going to be about her. There are also sub images dotted
around the front cover, this shows the reader what they will expect
to find inside on the other pages. The colour scheme is clearly for
girls and for the young girls. The bright purple and pink all match
together. This id effective to grab the attention of the younger girls
market and really does this job well of incising them.
These are other examples
of front covers of the pop
music magazine. They are
all similar pink bright girly
colours.
6. Colour scheme of my front cover for my music
magazine
My colour scheme of my music magazine is going to be subtle. It
is still going to be heavily focused on girly colours however they
are going to be less bright and more older classic colours. The
colour scheme of my magazine front cover is going to be pink. I
will be keeping a subtle tone throughout. The colours will match
the surrounding images giving a tight professional feel , which will
appeal to my older female target market. By making it less bright
it takes away the tackiness and the cheesiness of the young girl
pop music magazine. Standing out form the rest in a new and
different way.
For example this

My colour scheme for my contents page is
going to be a bit brighter than my cover page.
This is because this tells the reader what is in
the magazine and how to navigate around the
magazine and were to go. The colour scheme
will still be similar to my front cover to show
that they are the same magazine however I
want it to be brighter colours to stand out.
For example

The colour scheme for my double spread is going to keep up with the
rest of my music magazine. It will reflect my target market of the older
females. Like my contents and cover page it will be girly with an older
female feel or subtle less bright pinks, purples, reds, light blues. All the
colour will match the surroundings and keep an older classic feel. The
title will stand out and be a different font to the other text so they know
exactly what they are reading or going to read.
