To allow my final product to look professional and connote the correct genre themes and ideas for my audience, I need to explore the use of colour before I create my product. By acting as one of the more important factor in terms of aesthetic beauty, colour plays a pivotal role in the success of my product. The colour scheme which I choose must fit the genre themes and stereotypes of other products in the market place, alongside allowing specific areas to stand out accordingly.
I have decided to explore a range of colour schemes through website 'Adobe Kulor' / 'Adobe Color' alongside colour from current magazines.

It's important for the colour scheme to be gender neutral as this would allow my particular audience to be attracted to my product. I have been looking through a range of different colour schemes on Adobe Color to try and gain an understanding of what colours look attractive together and what don't.

I have chosen to look at 'Neutral Blue' to start off with because I think this is the kind of range which I need to be looking at. However, I think it will depend on the cover image and the colours contained in that. Perhaps I could incorporate a wider range of brighter colours to compliment these. I also like 'Sandy Stone Beach Ocean' because of the particular shades used and the way that I can image this particular scheme used in a real regional magazine.

After having looked at a range of different colour techniques and ideas, I think that I am going to explore Adobe Color when it comes to the creation and construction of my magazine. I will also keep in mind the use of colour on current regional magazine to ensure i fit convention and represent my audience correctly. I am now going to create my own colour palate of a rough idea of the colours that I want to use in my own magazine - this will allow me to focus my ideas and gain an understanding of the colours that I want to use.
