Research & Planning: Magazine Colour Schemes

1. Empire Magazine Colour Scheme



From this sample cover of 'Empire Magazine', we can see that the predominant colours used are navy blue, red and yellow. These colours are quite striking, which makes for a very engaging and interesting cover.

2. Premiere Magazine Colour Scheme



This is a stark contrast from the cover of 'Empire', here 'Premiere Magazine' has opted for a more refined colour palette, with a mixture of soothing and feminine colours such as baby blue and faded pink. The slight gradient in the background highlights the colours well - which contrasts the dark cover photo of Emma Watson.

3. Film Magazine Colour Scheme



Again, we can see that 'Film Magazine' has opted for a bright and engaging colour palette. What is interesting is how the colour 'white' is used to create a bold contrast against the shaded grey background. The input of vibrant yellow makes it stand out on the shelves.
