2. After creating my masthead for my magazine I decided to pick four
main colours I’m going to use for my house colours. My magazine
will always use this colour scheme so my target audience will
always recognise my magazine. Throughout my I will use the
neutral colours of black and white; add a splash of colour by
adding red & purple; purple is a female colour and red is a fantastic
masculine colour. I decided to use these colours because my
magazine is for both genders. Red is a very popular colour for rock
a rock magazine; it connotes aggression and love what can be
portrayed throughout rock music. I thought it would be unique to
use the purple and red with the black and white. I want my
magazine to be formal because my target audience is late teens /
adults. So it has to suit all. My magazine is mostly like NME
because they have the red black and white colour scheme.
However mine has a slight twist with the purple touch. In this NME
font cover they have used a extra colour of yellow. I am using their
colour scheme but swapping the yellow for a light purple.
