Colour Scheme (Updated/Edited)

My first colour scheme

My first colour scheme was associated with 'blue'. I wanted to create a sort of melancholy effect for a mysterious and dark concept by using shades of blue such as tiffany blue and robin egg.  I wanted this because in K-Pop magazines, a concept or colour theme follows on through out the magazine. This scheme was my original scheme.The blue colour represents the concept of the album of my model's debut which I also plan to use for my front cover. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
However, when I tried to reflect this through my double-spread page (DPS), the effect didn't come out as I wanted it to; no matter how many times I tried to change the hue and saturation of blue of the image, it didn't portray the melancholy effect that I had wanted. So, I had to change my colour scheme to something which would suit the rest of the magazine. The theme of orange along with white and black went extremely well with all my images for front cover, contents page and DPS. So I decided to use a mixture of the 'burnt orange' and 'tangerine' to make it look more colourful and bright so that it would look appealing to my audience.

Audience Mood Board - Music Magazine


This mood board shows the various interest of K-Pop fans. K-Pop fans are extremely interested in Korean food such as Kimchi and Tteokbokki and traditional culture. They also purchase various merchandise such as albums, posters, flash-lights/light sticks (at concerts) to support their groups. Quite a lot of the fans from the same country get together and do a 'flash mob', dancing to a variety of Korean songs. These flash mobs happen in very noticeable places such as Trafalgar Square. In the mood boad, there are three picture that show a significant colour. K-Pop bands/groups have a significant colour and fans buy the light sticks of their favourite band or the bands' concerts they could be going to. The immense spread of the light sticks in a concert in knows as in "ocean". Above, there's a red ocean (band: TVXQ), blue ocean (band: Super Junior) and yellow ocean (band: Big Bang). The 'ocean' signifies the unity of fans that stand together to support the bands.
