Planning - colour scheme

The colour schemes seen on the left, all work well together.

The first colour scheme is simple by effect with the dull and mysterious colours then with a use of blue which would allow text to be seen clearly. This colour scheme would work brilliantly throughout my magazine, reflecting a part of the R&B industry, by being mysterious and doesn't always tell you everything, but leaves its target audience in suspense for the longest time passable, to create a need for the music. The colour scheme is also multisex allowing the magazine to appeal to more customers.

The second colour scheme, like the first, creates a secretive atmosphere, allowing the bold red to be seen clearly. Like the first it also resembles that of the R&B industry, due to the magazine causing the audience to wounder what will happen next. The colour scheme also enables the magazine to appeal to both genders. However, i do worry that the red may stand out too much.

The third colour scheme does go together, however I am unsure if it would work efficiently through the magazine and wouldn't of created the right look, as it wouldn't exhibit any of the R&B industry.

The last colour scheme, uses bold and bright colours, with a contrasting black and white. Therefore would instantly catch the eye of the target audience, but like the third colour scheme I do not think that it would give the same atmosphere, as the first two colour schemes. On the other hand unlike the third it does reflect part of the R&B industry, as it is eye catching as would draw the audience to the magazine, such as R&B music does. Contrastingly, this colour scheme does not give the effect in which I think is needed.

Overall, I think that I will be using the first colour scheme, due to the points given.
