Colour Schemes

 

The colour scheme that I want to have for my magazine revolves around a green/blue/turquoise kind of colour. I think that this would be successful as my target audience is both boys and girls, who would both be attracted to these colours. They are also bright and bold colours which would be able to attract readers making them want to buy the magazine. The colours also connote peace and tranquility, and I want my readers to feel peaceful and relaxed when they are reading my magazine, so i feel that these colours would be successful to use.

The colour blue connotes the color of the sky and sea. It is often associated with depth and stability and can symbolize trust, loyalty, wisdom, confidence, intelligence, faith, truth, and heaven. All of these aspects relate to the Indie genre of music as they are people that are well respected for staying true to their love for music instead of getting carried away with the fame lifestyle and the over the top image.

The colour green is the color of nature and symbolizes growth, harmony, freshness, and fertility. Green has strong emotional correspondence with safety. This also can be associated with the Indie genre as they are stereotypically thought to be very interested in nature and the environment - and are also perceieved to be calm and full of tranquility.
