Possible Color Schemes for Automobile Magazine (pt1)

-


Automobile Magazine

Now that everything regarding color scheme has been established for the fitness magazine, it is now time to do the same for the automobile magazine. The automobile magazine will, however, be very different than that of the fitness magazines. This is because we are dealing with a completely different type of magazine. Cars are inanimate objects, therefore, the process of taking pictures is different than that of fitness magazines. Instead of focusing on the poses and clothing of the picture, we must consider the angles and colors of the vehicles. The size and type of vehicle will also have a great influence on the color scheme of the magazine. I will describe many possibilities in vehicles and establish the best color schemes to match that theme because there are many factors that will affect the color scheme.

Possible Color Schemes

Car types

One very important factor that may affect the color scheme that should be used is the type of car that is being used. What is meant by "Type" is the functionality of the car or what it was meant to do. The types of cars that I will discuss are as follow:

Daily Drivers:

Cars such as the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla are cars that fall within this Daily Driver category. They provide reliability without any exclusive performance or luxury so they are one of the most common cars in the market. Their price make them an even better choice amongst people. Possible color schemes for these types of cars are:

  • Blue background and any complimentary text color
  • Red background and any complimentary text color
  • Black background and any complimentary text color
  • White background and any complimentary Background
Muscle Cars:

Unlike the daily drivers, these cars are more geared towards appearance and performance. These cars are a very popular choice amongst car enthusiasts especially in the united states since these cars are American vehicles. Because they establish a much more aggressive theme, the color scheme of these vehicles should also be different from that of the daily drivers.

  • Red background and Black Text
  • Red background and Blue text
  • Red background and Text That Matches The Vehicle Color 
  • Black background and Yellow Text
  • Black Background and Red Text
  • Black Background and Text That Matches The Vehicle Color
  • Other colors may apply depending on the color of the car

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.

Target Market Research

Target Market: A very important aspect to consider next in my magazine is the demographics. In other words, what is my target audience or the people that will be reading this. This is extremely important because I must make the magazine with the intention of appealing to my target demographic. So if I were to make a magazine on cooking, my target audience will be depending on the content of my magazine. If I were to be doing the magazine on homemade recipes, I would most likely be targeting mothers and fathers, or even those who like to cook at home. The same goes for automotive and fitness magazines. I will have to establish my target audience in order to best meet their needs. These are some examples: These are just 3 examples of how my deduction should be. When I create my magazine I must do a similar idea to this in order to understand my target audience. This, in turn, would help me sell the magazine accordingly. This is because the target audience is one of the most

My "Single Vehicle" Cover Examples

My Samples: After I have analyzed and viewed the different options for a possible automobile magazine cover, it is now time to incorporate what I have learned about the images and take my own photographs. I want to get a feel for the process of taking these pictures and I would like to see which type of magazine cover I will be most comfortable with. The whole point of this project is to create the most successful magazine I possibly can, so that means I have to try many different options and see which I am best at.
