Analysis of Colour palettes , fonts

Colors opposite to each other in a color scheme work together. The further you get into the circle the darker the colors until they become black. So vice versa the further out go the circle you get the lighter the color is.

The colors that have been used in this NME magazine are Red, White and black; these colors work together because white and black are both Monochrome. Red and black have always worked well together, that’s why there are many designs in the media today with that certain color scheme in. The colors red and black suggest danger normally, like Dennis the menace always wore a red and black jumper like the one below, and Kurt cobain always used to famously wear a jumper like it to. It could also be depicted as quite an aggressive color scheme as Kurt Cobain was the lead singer and guitarist of Nirvana a Grunge band. Also in the film ‘The Nightmare On Elm Street’ the killer freddy Kruger wears a black and red jumper similar to Kurks, the red and black combination can be associated with many things, but in the magazine it uses the scheme to draw peoples attention, but it also tells me that the music in the magazine would be more aggressive than the everyday pop music. 






I have decided that for the font of my Titles and strap lines I need quite a rough and grungy title so I used the site www.cooltext.com to find some that would suit my magazine.

I quite like this one as it does look like a grunge title but it might be a bit to grungy and makes it quite hard to read on a coloured background.

I quite like this font, it looks really smudged and really gives the idea that the magazine is about grunge music. I like the effect of some of the letters being bigger than the others it gives a very unstructured title, and this links in with how unstructured grunge music was.

I quite like the bold letters that are textured on this font, the random use of accents also makes the font quite interesting, though this font is a bit to relaxed for my liking.

I really like this font, it really reflects what I was trying to go for with my magazine, though its a bit hard to read.

This font reminds me of a spray paint stencil, though Its quite a good looking font its actually quite hard to read because the spacing between some of the letters is quite far apart.
