Colour Scheme

From look at several magazine front covers. I can see that a lot of music magazine covers used red and black as their main colours. A lot of the time they add a lighter colours such as white to either vary the colour scheme, or lighten up the page. I need to take the colours used by other famous music magazines into consideration when producing my front cover. By doing this I have made the background red and the text black. I have included a lighter colour when putting a white outer glow on parts of the text. Some examples of covers that use the above colour scheme are:















After creating (what up to now is my final product) I have used the idea of red black and white colour scheme in my magazine but also included blue. This is because my main story is about an English Rapper trying to succeed and claim his American Dream. Therefore the black white red and blue colour scheme represents that of the USA and UK flag and also they all stant out on each other and go well together.
