Colour Mood Board Analysis

The colour red will be the main colour of my magazine as this is the most attractive colour to the human eye. This means that it will attract various viewers regardless of whether it is their preferred style of magazine / music. Red is also a colour that encourages people to make quick decisions, therefore having the masthead in red will evoke people to buy it. Red symbolises passion and love which demonstrates the feelings my magazine will have for the music it is reviewing / speaking about. I chose a darker red as I feel that this is more sophisticated and looks less childish. It also implies that the ‘love’ the magazine has for music is deeper than other’s. The colour blue has been known to symbolise trust, loyalty, wisdom, confidence, and intelligence and therefore incorporating this colour into my magazine will subconsciously make the readers feel as though then can trust the things the magazine is saying. The colours, white, black and grey are there for the background, the text and other basic things on the magazine. The more vibrant colours are there to highlight the more important parts of the magazine and the text. All the colours I chose are either rustic or pastel these are colours that my audience would like and choose if they were to choose a shade of that colour.
