Planning Magazine Colour Scheme...

Here I have shown which colours I plan on using throughout my magazine. I aim to use pastel colours - Although they weren't the most popular colour scheme chosen on my questionnaire (3rd most popular, 27.5% of people surveyed decided that they would like to see a pastel colour scheme on a magazine), my magazine will be aimed predominantly towards females, and I feel the pastel colours represent the female gender. I will also be using a monochrome throughout my magazine as 40% of people surveyed chose this as a preferred colour scheme. Throughout construction I shall continue to experiment with colours and decide if I should include the odd bright colour, as 40% of people also said that they would like to see bright and bold colours on magazine. Some brighter and bolder colours I have chosen are shown below...

Mood Board

Here I have created a mood board to express my ideas and thoughts of what I want my magazine to be like. As you can see I like pastel colours combined with portraits. I also like simple but hand writing style fonts as they look quirky and modern which is what I want my magazine to be like.

Definition of a magazine...

  What is a magazine...

                                       For many people a magazine is a wad of paper containing information that they may or may not be interested in.
But in reality a magazine is a lot more than that. Magazines contain articles, photographs, advertisements, and what these magazines contain depends on their niche market.

There are many different genres of magazines, such as; music,  sport, food, news, television, fashion etc, and each genre contain different information to appeal to their audience.

Within this modern day magazines aren't just available in your local supermarket, but they're also available online. This means they can contain different forms of media text such as sound and video, which then appeals to a larger niche market.

All magazines comply to a number of codes and conventions of which they can vary and change to suit their niche market. A masthead is a generic convention that people would expect to see on the cover of all magazines. The masthead does not change throughout additions of magazines, it keeps the same typeface and position on the cover meaning that avid readers of the magazine will recognise it easily between all the other colourful concoctions placed on the shelf.
