Colour scheme ideas ..

I was thinking of using dark and light colours for the masthead so it stands out buh i had to also take into account this is a rock magazine and colours such as baby blue and pinks are neva usually used so i wanted to use colours like dark red dark blue nd black as the red nd the blue would stand out with a black outline to make it more eyecatching.I was also thinking that i cud keep the masthead one colour like kerrang does buh NME's masthead i think is rather eye catching and does draw in the reader.

I either want to do my double page spread or my contents page a diffrent colour to my masthead and change it slightly as usually you see the same colours running through the whole magazine but i want to do something else so i would wither have one or the other consisting of blues and yellows and greys colours that work but are not usually seen in rock magazines to show there are diffrent ways and new ways to show rock i think this will also appeal to the younger generation into rock as they may see it as bland and to violent but with the diffrent colours they may get intrested into rock at a younger age.

The colour scheme i would proberly be using for the headings and anchors is mainly the same colours as the masthead as it will keep the same conventions running through - out the magazine and not look like a messy magazine with diffrent bits and colours thrown in together this will help the layout be easily readable and so they can note that the only magazine that gives that information is the one they are reading.

I am trying to test the typical rock genre colour conventions and try something new and inovative but i am also trying to keep the magazine recognizable and seen for a rock magazine not mistaken for an hip-pop one so i will be still incorporating the darker and well known colours used in rock magazines.
