After experimenting in Photoshop with different colour palettes for my mock-up, I have decided upon the scheme of red, white and black.
My reason behind this choice also came down to inspiration from other existing magazines. As Hip-Hop magazines are fairly uncommon in the U.K, I wanted to combin both conventions of UK magazines such as Q and NME with those of successful Hip-Hop magazines like Vibe. Black, white and red (or slight variations of this) palettes are common in both styles of magazine, and therefore I feel this would be appropriate - as well as effective due to contrasting complentrary colours.
some good work. you need to make sure that the drafts are completed by the deadline. make sure you post some shots of you working and some posts that show the development of the work from start to finish.
ReplyDeleteyou have posted some very interesting ideas and inspirations e.g.: the Michael Jordan/Kanye West post and the Kaws/Clipse Complex cover. hopefully your work will draw on such ideas.
ReplyDeletenow you've decided on your colours, post some magazine covers that use a similar palette.
