Colour Pallet- Fresh Echo

The Colour Pallet i plan to use in my magazine consists of Black, Red and White. I have chosen these colours as i feel they are sharp and simple, to create a very fresh look. Also the colour red contrasts very well with the black and white as the red is a lot brighter and will stand out significantly. I plan to have my important notices in red and the masthead and the rest of my mag in black and white, this i feel will again make what i want to stand out, stand out! The colour palette of is vital as it is what first attracts the target market to your magazine, so you want it to stand out. These 3 colours stand out and have been used on previous magazines that have been really succesful. Most magazines use a 3 colour palette as this makes it look professional and appealing to the audience. I have gone with the 3 colour pallet as i feel this is one of the main conventions of a music magazine and it needs to be abided by.
White is oftenly associated with light, goodness, innocence and purity. It is considered to be the color of perfection and clarity.Also White represents coolness and cleanliness and makes the other 2 colours stand out more on a white background. Black often stands for the dark side of life and also with power, elegance, formality, death, evil, and mystery. It is considered to be a very formal, elegant, and prestigious colour. , this is why i feel these two colours compliment each other well due to the contrast of pragmatics of the colours.
 My inspiration for this colour pallet came from the following:
