Drafting and Planning: Colour Scheme

The colour scheme of a magazine is very important. It helps distinguish the tone of the magazine, and helps it stand out from the crowd. Bright colours are excellent for my magazine standing out from the crowd, but I feel that bright colours are possibly slightly childish, especially seems as I want to aim my magazine at an older target audience. The colours red, white and black are often used for magazines, and I think I will do something similar. The colours go really well together and it is effective as it really stands out. The red has to be a fairly dark red though I feel.
