LABEL MAG COLOURS

The Colour Pallet i will use for my magazine consists of Black and white. After this i may choose to use red or yellow as my third colour or i will just stick with just black and white. Even though this would mean i don't have a three colour pallet, which is a convention of magazines, I feel it can work well from my what i have seen throughout doing my research on existing magazine covers. (below)



These colours are chosen as they are smart i think they can help to give my magazine the classy, more expensive look that i am aiming for. If i choose to include colour other than the standard black and white it will only be for headers to make them stand out on the page. However out of the magazines shown above i believe that the complex one has a more intriguing look about it. Most magazines use a 3 colour palette as it looks professional but i find that black and white can be just as appealing to my target market.White will give a good background that anything stands out on and it is very fresh as a base colour. any more than three colour breaks the rule and would not look right as the page would be out of balance.

more minimal cover research




a minimalist contents page


 

  • This contents is very minimal with just a few headings to point the reader to areas in the magazine that might might be interesting to read.  
  • It includes just one picture, the magazines logo and the sub heading list which is far less than the average magazine.
  • The subheadings are written in such a way that they follow the line of the model and they only show little amounts of information about the articles featured within the magazine.
  • The colour scheme is very black, white and red which shows how clean it is as there are no areas colours come into contact apart from on the clothing.
  • The page does not have a page number but does show the magazines web address as part of logo/header at the top.
