Examples of Possible Color Schemes for Fitness

Color Schemes For Fitness Magazine:

Now that I have discussed the color schemes that would fit best with the fitness topic, it would be a good idea to provide an example of similar color schemes in order to get a visual representation. I discussed the ways that clothing and poses can affect the possible color schemes and I described exactly what color schemes could be used for the magazines. Using this information I was able to establish that each clothing and pose used is done with a purpose. That purpose is to set a tone for the magazine and for this reason I made three separate posts in order to dissect the importance of color schemes. Despite what it may seem, color schemes are in fact very important and must be attended to with much precaution. Now that the possibilities have been discussed it is time to show some examples.

Examples:

This magazine incorporated my strategy of using the color of the outfit for the text. It provides for a much more vivid appearance and will gain more attention from the readers. The background was also a very good complement as it allows for the outfit and the woman to stand out.

This is a good example of my statements about the use of black outfits. It is a very common and sought after color and allows for a great amount of customization due to the color's versatility. Not only did this magazine use a white background like I stated in my previous posts, but it used two of the text colors that I recommended for black outfits. This is an idea that I had not really thought about and I am glad I came across this as I now know that I have this option.

This is also a perfect example of what I stated to do for magazines that incorporated shirtless individuals. The white background usually complements the people very well and is why it is the most common background for these poses. This also incorporated two of the colors I suggested and it allowed for a very good contrast in colors.

Introduction

G reetings, my name is Juan and this is my very first blog post of many more to come! What is my Goal? The reason I created this blog is in order to log my procedures in creating my magazine for AICE Media Studies. I will be posting these blogs on a regular basis in order to accurately explain how I intend to reach my end product (the magazine cover). My blogs will cover things, such as rough drafts, ideas, possible pictures, and essentially my entire thought process in coming up with the magazine. How will this be done? Since this is AICE Media Studies, I will be going about this blog in a very specific manner with specific tasks in order to abide by the rubric. The magazine will consist of a front-page, contents, and a two-page spread. There is also the possibility that I will be working in a group of up to 4 people. If I am to work in a group, each member of the team will be assigned a specific portion or job, all of which will be discussed in more depth later on.

Codes & Conventions of a Magazine

The next step in properly understanding how a magazine works is to learn the conventions and codes that make it up. This is something that I must learn in order to successfully create my magazine. The information that I obtained through research led me to this: Masthead:  When it comes to publishing, this term refers to the name of the magazine. This is a very important component of the magazine as it is one of the first things read and it also gives off the genre of the magazine. Sell line:  This is the statement made by the magazine that will try to convince someone to buy it. This is because it usually states any extra gains that a person will obtain from buying the magazine such as competitions or prizes. Cover lines:  These essentially serve as teasers as to what information is inside for the readers. They run down the sides of the magazine and is another technique to gain the attention of potential buyers. Main image/central image:  Just as the name implies, t

Genre of Magazines Before I can go about creating my magazine, I believe it is important that I understand what a magazine is, starting with the genres of magazines. I need to get my thoughts flowing as to what genre of magazine I am looking for. I conducted some research in order to outline the different genres, and here is what I found: Food Magazines: This type of magazine revolves around the advertising of food. It can range from foods that can be made at home, how to cook, home recipes, and even foods that can be found around the world. Fashion Magazines: This genre of magazine revolves around clothing and other forms of fashion. Fashion can be displayed through the use of people or individual objects. It is usually what people use to find out what is trending in clothing, but many magazines regarding fashion can also display very extravagant and unorthodox dresses. Automotive Magazines: This particular genre of magazine revolves around cars and e
