Colours for the magazine

While deciding what to choose for our colours we both needed to choose different colours as we are doing the same magazine but different editions. Therefore looking back at the magazine front covers in which we researched we analysed the use of colours which are mainly eye catching, therefore we decided on many colours which might suit the different editions which we are doing however we did not pick up a common theme of colours in which pop magazines specifically used to make the magazine cover more appealing to the audience. Therefore we looked at the same magazines different editions in order to see the difference we have to include for our different magazine editions. We found a very common technique which was used in many different magazines that the colours of the magazine front covers where chosen according to the clothes in which the artist on the front cover was wearing. Due to this we decided we will follow this common technique which many major pop magazines used. Therefore I decided that I would make sure I dress my artist for the front cover of the magazine lighter eye-catching colours as these colours would make the magazine more appealing to my audience and it would catch their attention immediately. However we decided that in order to keep our magazine name distinctive we would keep it the same colour throughout both the magazine editions. This is so the name is noticeable and is quite common to the reader in order for them to know the magazine from the name straight away. We decided that the most eye-catching and clear colour we could choose for the magazine name would be black therefore we decided that the magazine name would be black.
