Colour Samples

Colours are very important in order for the magazine to catch the eye of the audience and not be passed by. Some people would say: ''It's a rock magazine, just make it black.'', Yes, but black isn't going to sell it right? There has to be a delicate mixture of colours, so that it doesn't look boring or too colourful on the other hand. 

  For the front cover:

I was thinking of cropping the picture on my front cover and putting  it on a black background so that it can stand out. Then there is the question with the colours of the masthead and the text. In my opinion 2 or 3 colours would be enough.

1. 

This is the first option, black(as the background) green as some texts and res as masthead and the rest of the texts.

2.

Then it might be black, red and yellow.

3. Or... black, grey and red...

The last one looks too dark and boring.

The target audience of this magazine are young people so I'm aiming for something eye catching.

I'll also consider the colours on the picture I'll be using. Which are yellow, green, black and red, so I'll revolve around them. I'll decide which one suits best when I try them on the cover and see how they would fit the rest of it's image.

Audience feedback would be in great help :)
