To start with, i chose to design my front cover using a 'black and white colour scheme'. The reason for this, is because it represents editing techniques. however, i found the magazine would have more of an impact using the main image in colour and increasing brightness and contrast levels. as well as this, colour tone would stand out more using a colored main image.
Next, i decided started to design a magazine cover using the same image in colour and using a pale grey background/ fill colour. Therefore, i could use light colored font and dark coloured font with this background shade, as it is a colour that would allow my typography colour to be flexible. i downloaded the font, 'Starfish' from 'Dafont' and used it for my title. When using it on the front cover, i noticed the font was very cursive and did not look very bold and intense. the first thing that captures the audience's attention is the Title of the magazine, so it needs to be bold and eye-catching. As well as this, seen as though the font was cursive, i thought this may be difficult for some readers to see and read. So, i changed it to a more bold and intense font style.
I then moved onto choosing a pale green colour scheme for the background, rather than grey because i found this worked better, giving the cover a little bit of colour and creating a stronger contrast with the text on the page. This colour also relates to my target audience. Pale green is a popular female colour when it comes to fashion and it is connected to all types of female, wether they are very lady like or not so lady like.
