The Front Cover: I

Colour Scheme

Start off by thinking of possible three part colour schemes that you would like to have on your front cover. You need to think about how your colour scheme will appeal to your target audience. They will need to represent your musical genre in some way. Try to think about how different colours affect each other- what are their connotations? Come up with more than one scheme, as you will be hoping to release more than one edition of your magazine.

-With choosing a rock genre I have looked at examples of magazines and I have found that they usually use a dark base colour with bright or eye catching brights as accents.

*Black, orange and white. (Connotation of energy.)
*Black, purple and white. (Appears to be royal.)
*Black, yellow and red. (Electric, this links to the idea of the magazine being called something such as High Voltage or Amped.)
*Black, neon green and pink. (This is a mish-mash of two contrasting shades and in my mind leads me to thinking about alternative music and the name Taboo as a magazine possibility.)
