Color Research
For my next step in this process I have to decide the colors for my magazine. I plan to keep my cover page, table of contents, and double page spread all in the same color scheme. Considering this a summer/beachy/coastal edition I will be doing several colors. Now, I have to research the types of colors I want to include in my baking magazine. The specific shades can actually change a lot and appeal the audience more or less depending on the connotation. Softer shades can make the magazine seem more warm and welcoming while brighter shades attract the viewers to pay attention at something or make it seem fun/exciting.
Softer Shades:
When picking colors I kept in mind the theme of my baking magazine. I looked at a bunch of different colors and these shades of blue stood out more than the other ones. I went with lighter blues to create a calm and warm vibe. I'm definitely drawn to these colors because they all go together nicely and I want my magazine to show that when sticking to my theme.
In addition, I also thought about other colors outside the blues to have extra variety. Since summer is considered to be a fun and shiny season, I saw these colors as a good way to incorporate that. Even though I already have soft colors, I can always mix and match If I have more options, I am still not sure if I am set on which colors I like the most, but these color palettes definitely serve as a outline.
Bright Shades:
For my bright shades, I chose colors like navy, berry purple, brighter pink, and golden yellow to make the magazine feel bold and exciting. At first, I didn't really like the idea of using super bright colors but that changed when I did my research because brighter colors make specific things stand out more. In my opinion I don't think props, and the ad page would really go with any of these colors but looking back after my research I could definitely make it work. I have to ensure I don't use too much bright colors so I don't overpower text and images, as well as take attention away from my background props and main dessert images.
In the end, I want my magazine to feel warm, inviting, fun, and capture attention. Using a mix of all three palettes will defiantly achieve that purpose. Although I am not 100% set on these color's they are a good outline of the many colors I can incorporate in my baking magazine.
