Colour pallets...

  

I have no idea on what kind of colour pallet to use in my magazine as of yet, but my target audience is young adults, aged (16-24) so it has to be appealing to both sexes and still look good. The colours that i personally like at the minute are Red, White and Navy, Nautical colours, i think these can represent both male and female as they are neither more masculine nor feminine than each other, and i think if used in the right way can look presentable and professional and still manage to appeal to the target audience. If i changed my magazine to be for women only, i think i would consider using pastel colours, or quite vibrant colours such as pink, orange and green, against black and white as i think they would stand out brilliantly.

Magazine Cover Research...

The covers that i've used here are ones i found on cover junkie that i liked the most, they all feature bright colours, famous people and stick to a simple colour pallet. The one that strikes me the most is the i-D cover, as i like the use of bright pink against the monochrome spray paint stencil style background of Marylin Monroe's face, the simplicity of the cover looks professional and effortless.

Ideas...

Moodboard...

I created this mood board from images that i found of magazine covers that caught my eye and inspired me. I chose these because i simply like the colours used, monochrome has to be my favourite colour scheme as i think it looks simple, classy and sophisticated, but i also like a splash of colour against black and white too such as pink, orange and green as i think the contrast of the colours really compliments the more vibrant one. The covers i most like out of my mood board are the NME Jimi Hendrix edition, and the Guitarist, i prefer magazine covers that have hand written text on them as they look more personal and can transform the covers image massively by experimenting with different texts.
