Potential colour schemes for my masthead

Potential colour schemes for mastheadsA)

I think the colours compliment one another and convey my magazine well. The white portrays the innocence of my

audience whilst the pink on the word POP suggests the excitement of music in their

dull usual world.

Potential colour schemes for mastheadsB)

All colours work well together and I like how the simple white really stands out against the

pink background. I have used a similar outlining effect as a lot of other successful pop

magazines use which creates a 3D effect and makes the masthead look more interesting.

Potential colour schemes for mastheadsC)

The colours are both very strong and stand out well together. Separately the colours compliment the genre of my magazine as the blue has connotations of freedom and blue skies, whilst the pink suggests the intended audience. However, I feel the colours do not compliment each

other and create a bit of a contrast.

Potential colour schemes for mastheadsD)

I like the colours used here because they are all very simple yet together they look effective. However, I

find the grey background may have connotations of grey skies and create a negative image for my

magazine. As well as this, it does not have a very professional

finish because of all the merging colours.

Potential colour schemes for mastheadsI asked 25 people the following question

Colour scheme resultsOption AOption BOption COption D

I had very mixed responses for my different colour schemes. Both options B and C were chosen by 10 people, Option A was chosen by 5 people, and no one chose option D. From this I have decided to choose option B because although option C is pretty and conveys the genre, option B clearly reinforces the target demographic.
