When deciding what colours to use in my magazine it is difficult because I am not focusing on one genre. If I was focusing on one genre then I could look at that genre, the colours associated with that genre and use them in my magazine. I am focusing on more than one genre and so there is lots of different colours thats could feature in my magazine. I decided it might be a good idea to do a survey on what colours would suit a mixed genre magazine the best. I asked 15 people the same question with five answers to choose from and below are the results of the test.
What colours would suit a mixed music genre magazine the best ?
Black and white - 9 people said this would be the best
Red and black - 3 people voted for this
A mix of blues and pinks - 0 people voted for this
Yellow and orange - 2 people voted for this
Pinks and purples- 1 person voted for this
Looking at the results it is clear that the majority thought that black and white would be the best colours to use in my magazine. After I asked them nine people why they chose black and white and all there answers were the same. They said that they chose it because black and white is neutral and I wouldn't be favoring one genre over the rest, where as if I picked another set of colours it might come across that the magazine is more concentrated one one genre than the rest. I liked the idea of this and so I think it would be best to stick with it.
