Main Task: Colour Palette

For my media products,the main colours featured are purple, blue and neutral colours such as pink and grey. The purple used on the masthead, and included in my coverstars clothes represent a rich image as purple was once considered the most expensive colour for cloth production. This ultimately gives my products value and worth. On the other hand, I use the colour blue, which is a rich colour featured on my contents page.As blue is a colour of youth, I thought this was appropriate to use in relation to my young target audience. The pink on the other hand is a colour of beauty, which therefor symbolises the beauty of both the coverstar, and music. The tone of colour chosen was depicted from my main image therefore allowing the colours to co-ordinate with my product. Lastly, the colour grey is taken from the use of black and white images from my product in order to tie the whole magazine together. This also gives the magazine a more modern effect, whilst also emphasises different features of my coverstar i.e. eyes which stimulates direct eye contact.
