COLOUR PALETTE

The first row of colours, demonstraing black, grey and white, are possible background colours. It is most likely that I will use black as the background colour as white (or red) text would stand out greatly against it, and it would make the image more noticeable and detailed. It would also reflect the genre of my magazine and reinforce the genre to the audience. The reason I considered a grey background is because it would act as a middleground between black and white, incase either was too contrasted.

The middle colours demonstrate different shades of red that I will consider using for my magzine. In the images, the model is wearing a red/burgandy dress, so the colours may match. If I want the colours to match completely, I could use the colour picker tool on Photoshop so that I can use the exact colour of the text on the double page spread, alongside the dress. It is likely that I would use the first colour, as the other two are rather bright and the last is quite pastel. It is most likely that I will use the colour of the models dress.

The last line is possible text colour, if I didn't want to use black. E.G, for coverlines on the front cover, as I wouldn't be able to have black text on a black background. I like the middle option mostly as it isn't too dark however isn't completely white, so if it was beside white text there would be a slight contrasting difference.
