Colour Scheme

My base color scheme for my magazine will be red white and black. Black and white may attract a simple relaxed and perhaps older audience however the red will attract those with more lively personalities, and perhaps a younger audience. In terms of practicality the colors are easy to work with also. In my color scheme reel I have also included my autumnal theme which fits in with the red, I also really like the houndstooth print and I feel as if this will fit in very well with my magazine as it incorporates the black and white color scheme and is an up to date trend for autumn season, making my magazine contemporary and appealing to females, who I know are my primary target audience. The other textures and patterns might be good to include as they feel distorted which is almost reflective of the distorted music the artists in my magazine produce. Black and white are quite simplistic colors which are reflective of the basic almost chilled indie music my magazine issues. The complimentary red color could be viewed as a reflection of the vibrant personalities in music that my magazine will showcase and perhaps interview. The two colors combined highlight the idea of something quite ordinary and familiar (black and white&rock) with a twist (red&indie).
