During our preliminary work we were made aware that magazines use a rule of three, particularly with their colour palette. For this reason I have looked at palettes with three colours. All of them include at least one part black, white or grey. This is because I found in my research of magazines that the colour scheme very much revolves around monochrome, particularly the ones I found looked the most aesthetically pleasing. I also found that there was usually one, but sometimes two more vibrant eye catching colours on pages, so I have also taken this into consideration when considering my colour palettes. I plan to choose a colour palette from one of the above to help create my house style for my magazine. For the brighter colour I have concentrated more on red because it is associated with the genre I plan to do of indie rock. However I have also looked at other colours as I would like my magazine to be a bit more individual, whilst still keeping the necessary parts that will make it appealing to my audience. I think that as I fit into my target audience I could personally say that I would be interested in something that maybe didn't follow the colour scheme exactly yet was still familiar to me as an indie rock style music magazine.
