From researching into magazines, the main colours used are black, white, red and occasionally yellow. The colour black connotates power, white connotates purity, red connotates passion and yellow connotates idealism.



I was testing different colours to find out which one worked best with a magazine I wanted to produce, I used the colours that I saw on the magazines that I’ve researched. I was trying to find the best colours that worked together, I went around with a tally to find out which colour suited best, I asked 20 people on their vote. From the results, I have found that having ‘Red, Blue and Black’ had the most votes, I have decided to use these colours on my magazine, I used the normal red and black colours and added in blue to add a different mood.

/// - 3 : These colours contrast well together, black connotes power and white connotes peace, the red connotes blood and passion which work together well in this magazine.

// - 2 : The black, which connotes power works well with the red which connotes blood and passions, they contrast well and the yellow which connotes hope and happiness mixes in with them both.
//// - 4 : The red which connotes blood and passion contrasts with the white which connotes peace and purity, the yellow mixes in with them both because it connotes happiness and hope.
