Colour Palette.

These are some of the colour palettes i've chosen from colour lovers which is a collection of colour palettes some people have put together. I've tried to stick to dull/bright colours for my magazine as I'm trying to find colours that will compliment the genre of the magazine. With magazines you should usually stick to a three colour palette but the four colour pallete on the page above works really well together as the colours are bright and compliment eachother. I'm finding hard to decide which pallete's out of these I like the most I like the orange/cream/sky-blue one but I feel it may be too colourful when I come to making my magazine but I feel like experimenting with it to see what it will look like. I also like the brown rust/beige/dark grey pallete as looks quite sharp and edgy. Even though I can't decide I think most palletes will link to my magazine genre as long as I make it work and make sure that I don't mix the colours too much.

Fonts.

Here is a range of fonts I've gathered from Dafont.com which will inspire me to create my fonts on my magazine [cover, contents and double-page spread]. For the masthead I'm looking for something quite big that stands out that can link to the genre of my magazine being classic rock/punk and then for the other writing something that is still bold but a bit more softer so it doesn't look like big chunky writing all over the magazine. I'm determined to use a font that will give the magazine a fresh, edgy look so it can attract customers to a new magazine. I have to make sure I don't choose fonts that will throw my magazine off balance and off course. It will have to in some way link to my genre that I've chosen to keep the sophisticated, professional look. I'll have to decide which ones I want to use by cutting it down to a small few I like then deciding from them for my magazine.

Moodboard.



Above is a collection of magazine covers, contents pages and double-page spreads that inspire me in different ways. Each one will help me to come up with a range of ideas when creating my magazine and I'm looking at covers without that much writing on the front to make the magazine look more professional and each of these covers also have a colour scheme I can look and and get inspiration from. I've also included a range of artists that will inspire my classic rock/punk magazine including artists such as AC/DC and Sex Pistols.
