Colour Theory

Colour is a very important element in the design of my magazine. Different colour schemes can reflects different atmospheres and therefore solidify the magazine.

Monochrome Colour Scheme: this is the combination of black, white and the hues of one other colour. This is used to create the idea of sophistication.

Advancing Colours: otherwise known as warm colours and are found on the right hand side of the colour wheel. They appear to come towards you. For example: orange yellow red green

Receding Colours: these are colours that appear to move away from you and are found on the left hand side of the colour wheel. For example: blue purple green

I will be taking into consideration these points when producing my magazine pages as the ambience projected by the colour scheme must match the attitude of the magazine.
