Colours Mood Board Analysis

                                              Colours Mood Board Analysis

 With the colours on my mood board, I used my survey questions to help me make the final decision on what colours to use, in which the answers were red, black, yellow and white. I used the intertextuality from the Kerrang magazine for this also as their magazine includes various shades of these different colours. These colours apply to the target audience not only because I asked my audience what colours they would like to see but these are the colours that are associated stereotypically with the pop-punk/ rock industry. For example, this genre of music videos and such include black and white shots more than coloured shots in order to add dramatic effect and the connotations of the song come across a lot quicker, for instance the song would probably be about sadness, death or just about how someone feels.

 In my magazine, I will be using various shades of these four colours such as greys, lighter reds and darker yellows in order to make up my magazine and make it more exciting and variating rather than just 4 colours and nothing else. This would also make it look a lot more professional to the audience. Not only have these colours been used before in magazines and music videos but these colours have been used in a lot of branding and would therefore mean that I could advertise a lot of branding inside my magazine and I could continue the conventionality the whole way through as this set of colours is used quite commonly and conventionally. I laid these colours out in an appealing way as they are set out in a scale to easily display the variation of different shades of one colour going from dark to light and light to dark.
